title: Geographic distribution of AIDS patients diagnosed at eight Baltimore hospitals.
abstract: Since the beginning of the AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) epidemic in Baltimore, the university hospitals, particularly Johns Hopkins, have diagnosed and treated a disproportionate share of Baltimore patients. Many Baltimore community hospitals are now treating AIDS patients. These hospitals will have an increasing role in providing primary and secondary care as the epidemic expands.
