title: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome--Dade County, Florida, 1981-1990.
abstract: In the United States, the impact of the epidemic of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has been most substantial in urban areas. In addition, AIDS has differentially affected racial/ethnic minority groups. This report characterizes the epidemiology of AIDS through 1990 in Dade County (which includes incorporated Miami), Florida (1990 population: 1,937 million), an urban area with a diversity of racial/ethnic groups and cultures. The findings in this report are based on surveillance data from CDC's AIDS Public Information Data Set and from the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services' (HRS) AIDS Program.
