Abstract

“While the majority of reported AIDS cases continues to be among white gay and bisexual men, the epidemic has forcefully spread to new populations. Between 1986 and 1989, reported AIDS cases among persons of color increased by 214 percent, among heterosexual IV drug users by 266 percent. The epidemic is also beginning to strike children in growing numbers.” (Dunn‐Mortimer, John. “Recommendations for Financing the HIV Epidemic in California.” Los Angeles: The California Association of AIDS Agencies, 1990.)
