HIV infection and AIDS--Georgia, 1991.
Public health surveillance efforts for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the United States have documented an increasing proportion of cases among persons who reside outside the largest metropolitan areas (1,2). These findings, coupled with results of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence studies, have led to the development of HIV-related prevention and treatment services in smaller cities and rural areas. This report presents results of HIV-infection and AIDS surveillance in Georgia (1990 population: 6.5 million) for 1991 and compares these findings for urban and rural areas.
