The accompanying table (Table_1) lists the metropolitan areas with the 50 highest annual rates of AIDS per 100,000 population.
More detailed information about AIDS cases is provided in the HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report, single copies of which are available from the CDC National AIDS Clearinghouse, P.O. Box 6003, Rockville, MD 20849-6003; telephone (800) 458-5231 or (301) 217-0023. Internet users can view an electronic copy of the report by accessing CDC's World-Wide Web home page (http://www.cdc.gov), then selecting "Publications, Software, & Products."
Rates presented here represent cases reported to CDC over the indicated 12-month period. Reported cases over a recent time period indicate the size and characteristics of the populations affected by the epidemic and the distribution and impact of AIDS nationally. These data are not appropriate for analyzing trends in the epidemic over time. Additional information about trends in the epidemic were published in MMWR 1997;46:861-7.
