HTLA and GRID--- the difference was that a french team of doctors and an American team of doctors were both doing research using a different name for the same disease. The American doctor published first and aids became HIV.
Actually, the first name given to AIDS was "4 H disease" or the "scarlet letter H disease". This is because the first cases of the disease were found among homosexuals, Haitians, hemophiliacs, and heroin users. Later the name was changed to GRID, for Gay related immune deficiency. HTLV III was one of the first names for HIV before naming it HIV by the Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses.
