None of these leads, when investigated, panned out. In urban Haiti, the GHESKIO did not even consider these hypotheses to be worthy of serious investigation. In our small-scale but in-depth study of AIDS in the central plateau, we did not find any strong implication of non-sexual transmission of HIV (Farmer 1992). Similarly, the ‘Collaborative Study Group of AIDS in Haitian-Americans’ initiated the first and (so far) only controlled study of risk factors for AIDS among Haitians living in the United States.
Below are brief case histories of the first three villagers known to have died of AIDS. None had a history of transfusion with blood or blood products; none had a history of homosexual contact or other ‘risk factors’ as designated by the CDC. We believe, however, that they share an important, if poorly understood, risk factor: poverty. Anita Anita Joseph was born in approximately 1966 to a family that had lost its land to the Péligre dam. One of six children, Anita briefly attended school until her mother, weakened by the malnutrition then rampant in the Kay area, died of tuberculosis.
