title: Study: disparity between rich and poor mortality.
abstract: Prior to 1996, AIDS affected wealthy and poor alike, and researchers in one of the world's AIDS epicenters could find no disparity between wealthy populations and poor populations in disease progression. That trend clearly has changed. A new study in San Francisco shows that populations with a low economic status have a higher rate of AIDS mortality.
