CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has released two special reports examining the awareness of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among blacks and Hispanics in the United States. The reports, based on data collected in 1990, describe various aspects of AIDS-related knowledge and HIV-antibody testing experience. Differentials by age, sex, and education are compared with those from the non-Hispanic white population.
