specially among persons aged 25-44 years. METHODS: Data are from the
Department of Vital Statistics and were obtained from deaths
certificates for 1990-1991 who mentioned AIDS as a cause (ICD9 279.8).
We analyzed, cases, mortality rate, proportion of all deaths, sex, age

all deaths). In 1991, 181 HIV people died (0.5% of all deaths); 62% were
aged between 25-44, and became the second leading cause of deaths at
this age, being heart diseases (ICD9 390-429) number one and neoplasms
