TL;DR
The distribution of demographic and residential characteristics among people with AIDS was similar to that of all people with a diagnosis of HIV, and strategies are needed to reach the populations of these areas to reduce transmission of HIV.

107 Citations2002Herminia Palacio
There is evidence of racial/ethnic disparities in utilization of antiretrovirals, which are known to be strongly associated with positive HIV health outcomes, and it is now imperative to better understand the causes of these disparities, evaluate programs that affect the delivery of HIV medications, and implement program and policy changes necessary to address the disparities.

90 Citations1998Timothy A. Green
Adjustments that account for delays in reporting AIDS cases, the lack of HIV-exposure information for some cases, and future diagnoses of AIDS-defining opportunistic illnesses among persons reported with AIDS under the severe immunosuppression criteria of the 1993 AIDS surveillance case definition are described.
