Dr Grethe Rask doesn't seem to be the first European to die of AIDS. I copied this from the article AIDS:
"In 1976, a Norwegian sailor, his wife, and his nine-year-old daughter died of AIDS. The sailor had first presented symptoms in 1966, four years after he had spent time in ports along the West African coastline. Tissue samples from the sailor and his wife were tested in 1988 and found to contain the HIV-1 virus (Group O). [39] [40] The next documented western death from AIDS was that of Dr. Grethe Rask in 1977. Rask, a Danish surgeon, had worked in the Congo in the early 1970s." --62.6.139.11 09:20, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
