		<description>GRID was first mentioned on May 11, 1982 (and not mentioned again until 1987):

A serious disorder of the immune system that has been known to doctors for less than a year - a disorder that appears to affect primarily male homosexuals - has now afflicted at least 335 people, of whom it has killed 136, officials of the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta said yesterday. Federal health officials are concerned that tens of thousands more homosexual men may be silently affected and therefore vulnerable to potentially grave ailments.

The cause of the disorder is unknown. Researchers call it A.I.D., for acquired immunodeficiency disease, or GRID, for gay-related immunodeficiency. It has been reported in 20 states and seven countries. But the overwhelming majority of cases have been in New York City (158), elsewhere in New York State (10), New Jersey (14) and California (71).

Thirteen of those affected have been heterosexual women. Some male victims are believed to have been heterosexual, and to have been chiefly users of heroin and other drugs by injection into their veins. But most cases have occurred among homosexual men, in particular those who have had numerous sexual partners, often anonymous partners whose identity remains unknown.</description>

		<description>If you want to look up the first time AIDs was really mentioned (in subject not name) look  up GRIDs.  Before it became more widespread AIDs was considered something that only happened to gay men, thus the name, Gay Related Immuno-Deficiency.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m curious about the first mention of microwaves because there was a time that a relative of mine was considering buying a microwave oven. It was when he was building a new house, at that time they had to be built into the house, they ran on 220 volts, and cost as much as a new car. It was my grandfather and the year was 1948.</description>
