AIDS illness linked
to Haitian voodoo
United Press International
BOSTON — A mysterious
and deadly immune system defi
ciency plaguing gays, drug
addicts and hemophiliacs may
be linked to voodoo in Haiti and
brought to the United States,
according to a study released
Thursday.
Acquired Immune Deficien
cy Syndrome, AIDS, does not
seem to be native to the United
States and the large number of
cases among Haitian refugees
indicates a need to look to Haiti
for clues on where the disease
came from and how it is trans
mitted, said Dr. Jeffrey Vieira of
Brooklyn Hospital.
Anthropologists should
study various factors in Haiti, in
cluding diet, drug use, the toxic
environment and sexual and re
ligious practices, which include
blood transmission believed to
be one way the disease is passed
on, he said.
Vieira headed a study pub
lished in the New England Jour
nal of Medicine Thursday that
found 10 Haitians treated in
Brooklyn for AIDS reported no
history of homosexuality, drug
abuse or blood transfusions, the
means by which the disease is
now believed to be transmitted.
Six of those studied died of
complications from the infec
tions, treatment or surgery re
lating to the disease that causes
the immune system to break
down, leaving the victim prey to
a host of scavenger diseases.
“The Haitians we looked at
are hard-working, they have one
wife, they don’t report any drug
use or homosexuality. I don’t see
how they could have picked
AIDS up here. I think they
brought it with them, but how
they got it there 1 don’t know,”
he said.
Haiti has been considered a
pular vacation spot for
omosexuals for many years.
“Our theory is it’s transmitted
by some unrecognized route.
Haitians are connected in some
way with voodoo p™
volving transmission J
products, cutting fl( .|
with knives,” he said, r
It is important fo,|
chers to know where J
originates so itcanbeci
he said.
“It’s a major publxl
concern,” he said. “\oi|

For instance, whoarei

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A
Maryland court says the Legisla
ture will have to change the law
before tavern patrons can sue
tavern owners for serving them
drinks after they are obviously
drunk.
The Court of Special Appeals
said Thursday a man who sued a
tavern owner after he got so
drunk he fell off a barstool and
injured his leg may have a legiti
mate beef, but no legal right to
sue.
A three-judge panel said it
had no choice but to dismiss a
lawsuit filed by Grover Cleve
land Fisher against a Baltimore
tavern owned by O’Connor’s
Inc.
Fisher, 60, contended the
bartender should have quit serv
ing him drinks one afternoon
three years ago because he
already obviously was drunk.
Fisher’s attorney says his
client downed 14 drinks and fell
asleep at the bar.
