title: The epidemiology of AIDS in Maryland, 1981-1987.
abstract: From 1981 through 1987, a total of 1,068 AIDS cases were diagnosed in Maryland; 62.8 percent occurred in the homosexual/bisexual male cohort followed by intravenous drug abusers, 21.8 percent. Time trends suggest that proportionally fewer cases of AIDS will occur among homosexual/bisexual males and transfusion patients, and more cases will appear among intravenous drug abusers and heterosexuals.
