Total of 135,031 AIDS/HIV articles were processed, publications seen in total of 4348 journals in the past 20 years. In 1982, AIDS articles were 26, increasing to 9237 in 1991, stabilizing therefrom. 72,970(54%) articles had US as country of publication while 25,220(18%) from UK, 5047(3%) from Germany, 4535 from France. 86 countries published HIV articles in 53 languages.
