AIDS THREAT TO BE KNOWN SOON —————

U.S. Surgeon General Everett Koop said Friday that AIDS researchers were on the verge of determining the seriousness of the threat to the general population. ''We could be facing an explosion in the heterosexual community as we did in '81 or '82 in the homosexual community,'' he said on U.S. television. ''Or it could just filter through the community. I think the next six months will tell you whether we have to be as concerned about the heterosexual transmission as many people think,'' he said, adding that AIDS researchers were ''standing on the threshold of information that you'd like to have. Hopefully people have heard our message and changed their behavior patterns.''

A report released Thursday at the Third International Conference on AIDS estimated a one-in-1,000 chance of an AIDS-infected man passing the disease to an uninfected woman in a single sexual encounter. Doctor Warren Winkelstein, who presented the University of California at Berkeley paper, said too few men have contracted the disease from infected women to calculate men's risk of being infected through heterosexual intercourse.

''The likelihood is that the spread of AIDS in the heterosexual community will be limited to segmnents of the populations that engage in a lot of sexual contacts,'' Dr. Winkelstein said. The university study also concluded that the risk of AIDS infection is ten times greater in homosexual intercourse than in heterosexual encounters.
