开场白：在不到十年的时间里，令人恐惧的疾病获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)已经成为影响美国医疗资源消耗的主要因素。在这篇论文中，安妮·西托夫斯基讨论了一个她被公认为美国领先专家的主题--艾滋病的经济成本。西托夫斯基目前是帕洛阿尔托医学基金会/研究所唯一的社会科学家研究员，该组织将大部分资源投入到生物医学研究中。西托夫斯基拥有哥伦比亚大学经济学硕士学位，多年来一直为医学文献做出了非常有价值的研究。在11次世界大战期间，她在社会保障管理局与已故的塞尔玛·穆希金共事，后者是卫生经济学的早期先驱之一。在1984年西托夫斯基开始她的艾滋病工作之前，她已经对各种疾病的成本变化进行了研究，这使她能够估计各种疾病对成本的影响。
