AB In 1993, local, state, and territorial health departments reported to
CDC 58,538 cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) among
racial/ethnic minorities (Table 1). A total of 38,544 (66%) cases were
reported among blacks, 18,888 (32%) among Hispanics, 767 (1%) among
Asians/Pacific Islanders, and 339 (1%) among American Indians/Alaskan
Natives. These cases represented 55% of the 106,949 AIDS cases reported
in the United States in 1993. Rates of AIDS and modes of human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) exposure varied substantially both among
and within minority populations. This report describes these differences
and summarizes the epidemiologic characteristics of AIDS cases reported
among racial/ethnic minorities during 1993.
