To characterize the socioeconomic status of persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), 11 U.S. state and city health departments interviewed 2,898 persons > or = 18 years of age reported with AIDS between June 1, 1990, and January 31, 1993. Among men who have sex with men, white men reported the lowest percentage (9%), and Central/South American (50%) and Mexican men (40%) reported the highest percentages not completing 12 years of school. Among intravenous drug users (IDUs), 35% of white men, 64% of black men, 67% of Puerto Rican men, 29% of white women, and 63% of black women had not completed 12 years of school. Overall, 77% of the men and 90% of the women were unemployed; we also found racial/ethnic differences by employment but to a lesser degree than differences in education. Among women, but not among men, differences in household income by race and ethnicity were marked; 76% of white and 91% of black female IDUs reported a household income of $10,000. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention programs must be targeted toward the educational level of the populations served, and HIV services must adapt to the financial circumstances of their clientele.
为了描述获得性免疫缺陷综合征（艾滋病）患者的社会经济状况，11个美国州和城市的卫生部门对1990年6月1日至1993年1月31日期间报告的2898名年龄在18岁及以上的艾滋病患者进行了访谈。在男男性行为者中，白人男性报告未完成12年学业的比例最低（9%），而中南美洲男性（50%）和墨西哥男性（40%）报告的比例最高。在静脉吸毒者中，35%的白人男性、64%的黑人男性、67%的波多黎各男性、29%的白人女性和63%的黑人女性未完成12年学业。总体而言，77%的男性和90%的女性失业；我们还发现就业方面存在种族/民族差异，但程度小于教育方面的差异。在女性中，而非男性中，按种族和民族划分的家庭收入差异显著；76%的白人女性和91%的黑人女性静脉吸毒者报告家庭收入为1万美元。人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）预防项目必须针对所服务人群的教育水平，HIV服务必须适应其客户的经济状况。
