@hungarianmudkip69 recently asked @vaspider about the spread of HIV. The excellent discussion there focused largely on qualitative aspects, notably what was going on socially in the 1970s and 80s, HIV's subtlety and long incubation periods, and exponential growth (along with a great refutation of accidental needle sticks as a dominant vector).

I've got a math and physics background - I have some extremely relevant intuition, but I still prefer being able to find real-world numbers to confirm that I haven't misapplied it. I encourage checking out all the links in this post; there's a lot of great information!

We can't literally go back in time and test everyone for HIV, but it is possible to model and estimate, e.g. this 2021 report from the CDC (US-only).

The second graph of figure #2 is very close to what we discussed:

(MMSC is male-to-male sexual contact and IDU is injection drug use; see the article for other details.)

Again, these are estimates, so we can't take the exact numbers as fact, but let's look at the big picture. HIV likely first arrived in the US around 1970; it first gained public attention in 1981, when the CDC reported cases of what we now call AIDS. At that point, the estimate is an order of magnitude of tens of thousands of HIV infections.

The original asker was interested in the behavior of a "patient zero" (see also "Debunking the Myth of Patient Zero", an excellent video linked in that thread). These numbers help us see how little effect one hypothetical person's behavior could have had on the end result. As long as the virus was transmitted at all, it was going to reach the highest-risk populations eventually, and spread once there, whether it took one hop or ten. It was also essentially impossible to notice the pattern and infer the existence of HIV/AIDS in the US until multiple people in the same community developed AIDS and contracted unusual infections - which most likely means that it's reached that high-risk population, and ten years have passed.

Tens of thousands of infections is simply the result of exponential growth during those ten years; stopping it from becoming an epidemic would've required everyone's behavior to have changed. Different behavior, different transmission, different number of hops early on would more likely have changed how long it took to spread widely enough to become noticeable, not whether it did. (An unfortunately familiar concept, in the year 2023.)

The authors also mention that "trend data comparing subpopulations is likely to be robust for each period examined", so let's look back at those individual lines. Injection drug use (IDU) actually was a fairly significant means of transmission by the 1980s, and by the mid-80s, the spread among gay/bi men (MMSC) was beginning to decline. At the end of the decade, IDU may even have passed MMSC. Simultaneously, transmission was still rising among straight people. It shouldn't be too surprising that straight sex became significant; there are rather a lot of straight people!

The CDC also has us covered for a more current picture, as of 2017-2021 in the US:

This does vary greatly by country. Notably, as of 2022 in England, 49% of new diagnoses were among heterosexuals, compared to 45% among gay/bi men. (Do keep in mind that there are far more straight people, so still, a far higher fraction of gay/bi men were diagnosed.)

I personally find that I get the best understanding when I'm able to combine some direct evidence/data with an understanding of the history and social forces; hopefully this piece helps at least one person out in that way!

[Finally, as a footnote: trans women also exist (hi I'm one) and have historically been at high risk. I am unsure to what extent trans women are omitted versus misgendered in the above data. I wanted to focus on historical estimates over time here, and unfortunately wasn't able to find that for trans women, but this review article links to and summarizes some data from two meta-analyses.]

Random thoughts on a Sunday:

Gusto kong i-try 'yung NAWA Wellness sa Calatagan. May promo kasi 'yung eastwest, 20% off, not sure if applicable 'yun sa retreat. May mental wellness thing for women sila next month. Ang gastos ko na talaga these days.

Nagpakonsulta ako kahapon sa ENT. Tumawag ako sa hotline 2pm, pwede naman daw walk-in, first come, first served. Surprise, pang-14 ako pagdating doon noong 4pm. Ang schedule ay 4-6pm, pero 7:30pm na ako natignan. Siguro next time, may dala na lang din akong pending work or aaralin. Hindi ko kasi matantya kung tatawagin na ba ako or hindi pa. I mean, around 6pm, sabi, pang-6 pa lang 'yung tinatawag.

Bumalik ako kanina para magpakuha ng dugo. May mga hindi nasama sa listahan ng itinawag sa hmo na nasa request naman. Inayos naman nila no'ng sinabi ko, kaso +30 minutes waiting time or more nanaman kasi itatawag pa, paperwork pa ulit, and so on. Dati rin, pag ako 'yung nagpapaapprove sa app, andaming naiiwang lab test, kaya hindi ko na muna ginagamit 'yung app sa ngayon.

Naisip ko nanaman ang healthcare (delivery) in general. May mga "clinic" kasi sa ibang bansa na text-based na for non-urgent concerns, kasi alangan namang pipila ka nang pagkatagal-tagal every now and then. 'Yung concept ay asynchronous 'yung consultation and for specific concerns lang din naman.

Gusto kong maging understanding pero 'yung totoo, wala namang luxury of time 'yung most people para pumila at maghintay sa mga clinic. Naisip ko lang na other than APE and some citizens na concerned sa kalusugan nila, hindi pa rin masyadong uso 'yung preventive care sa atin. At kung magpapakonsulta ka man or lab test or imaging, andami-daming kinukuhang oras from you. Buti kung may dedicated day for that purpose na hindi affected ang work/pay and other things.

Hindi ko naman sinisisi 'yung clinic or anyone for that matter. Marami lang talagang tao. Siguro maganda kung may maisip silang sistema to make things more tolerable, like itetext ka na lang nila kapag tinawag na 'yung #8 samantalang #10 ka sa pila, para naman alam mong pwede kang kumain, magshopping, o umuwi muna, kaysa nakaupo ka lang doon. Pero unpredictable kasi minsan, gets ko rin naman.

Ang sarap ng greek yogurt!!!!!!!!

Bibilhan ko sana sila ng mcflurry pero naisip kong mag-lunch out na lang kami. Ilibre ko raw sila sa Yabu pagkauwi galing ospital.

Nakita ko 'yung Global Health Delivery Intensive, I thought interesting siya. Mag-aapply na sana ako kaso $10,000 pala ang tuition fee. Related sya sa Master of Medical Sciences in Global Health Delivery (MMSc-GHD) degree-program offered through Harvard Medical School. May scholarship, pero last year naaccept ako sa some program sa some university sa UK pero hindi sa scholarship so hindi ko tinuloy. And tl;dr tinatamad akong magpasa ng kung anu-ano ulit (tapos marereject lang).
