Summary:
A six-page, typewritten letter dated Sept. 1, 1986, from Rape Victim Advocates of Chicago to Dr. Charles Beckman at the University of Illinois College of Medicine withdraws its services at the university's hospital, because of a program there that screens rape victims for the presence of HTLV-III, an early term for HIV. The group deems the study unscientific and likely to cause further trauma to rape victims.
