Are they still doing this, and anyone know if the word "epidemic" in the description will cause an issue (it's about the AIDS crisis not covid)?

I don't think it's "epidemic", but mentioning Covid at all that does it. I did see one short story that mentioned it in the blurb, but it's been two or three weeks so it may have been removed. I think if you're clear that the epidemic is not related to the current virus, you'd be fine.

I haven't seen any complaints lately, but it seems that nonfiction about the virus is still being blocked.

Maybe, if you want to stay on the safe side, just use the term "AIDS crisis"? Just a thought. You can always adjust your blurb later.
