* Data for each opportunistic illness are standardized to the sex- or risk-specific proportion of national acquired immunodeficiency syndrome surveillance cases by age, race, year of diagnosis, and country of birth. Data from all cities are weighted equally.

+ Data in this analysis are for the three largest single HIV exposure modes for males observed in the Adult/Adolescent Spectrum of HIV Disease project. Exposure mode-specific data are not presented for 2,457 males with other HIV exposure modes.

& -- A CDC-sponsored surveillance project that collects data at selected sites in 11 U.S. cities.

@ -- Differences by HIV exposure mode were significant using the stratified Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) statistic (p<0.05).

** In a comparison of data in Tables 1 and 2, the difference by sex for this item was significant using the stratified CMH statistic; the percentage was higher for males (p<0.05).

++ In a comparison of data in Tables 1 and 2, the difference by sex for this item was significant using the stratified CMH statistic; the percentage was higher for females (p<0.05).
