 AB    Hodgkin's disease (HD) is not currently included within the Centers for
       Disease Control (CDC) classification system for AIDS. Upon HD diagnosis,
       HIV(human immunosuppressive virus)-positive patients are generally found
       within Stages III or IV of the Ann Arbor HD classification system,
       already exacerbating the problem of treatment. In contrast, HIV-negative
       patients diagnosed with HD are generally found within Stages I or II.
       Epidemiology and the presence of secondary lymphomas, opportunistic
       infections, or aggressive pathologies, accompanied by low survival rate
       and timing of HD diagnosis suggest that HD should be included among
       conditions indicating AIDS manifestation.
