This study measured the migration of persons with the acquired immunodeficiency virus (AIDS) between diagnosis and death using AIDS case and death reports from 12 states for 1985 to 1992. Of 49,805 persons with AIDS, 10.6% changed their place of residence, and half of these individuals who moved changed their state of residence. Migration had relatively little impact on the numbers of persons with AIDS in the largest metropolitan areas, which accounted for approximately 90% of AIDS diagnoses. Although only 3% of deaths occurred in residents of nonmetropolitan areas, the net effect of migration was a 24% increase in the number of persons with AIDS residing in such areas.
本研究利用1985年至1992年12个州的艾滋病病例及死亡报告,对获得性免疫缺陷病毒(艾滋病)感染者从确诊到死亡期间的迁移情况进行了测量。在49,805名艾滋病患者中,10.6%的人变更了居住地,其中一半迁移者改变了所在州。迁移对大都市区艾滋病患者数量的影响相对较小,大都市区的艾滋病确诊病例约占总数的90%。虽然只有3%的死亡发生在非大都市区居民中,但迁移的净效应是使居住在这些地区的艾滋病患者数量增加了24%。
