* The numerator is the number of persons who ever had a specific opportunistic illness (OI); the denominator is the number of persons who died with one or more acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-defining OIs during 1992-1997. These data are standardized to the sex- or risk-specific proportion of national AIDS deaths by age, race, year of death, and country of birth. Data for all cities are weighted equally.

+ Data in this analysis are for the two largest HIV exposure modes for females observed in the Adult/Adolescent Spectrum of HIV Disease project. Exposure mode-specific data are not presented for 363 females with other HIV exposure modes.

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

@ -- In a comparison of data in Tables 7 and 8, the difference by sex for this item was significant using the stratified Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) statistic; the percentage was higher for females (p<0.05).

** Differences by HIV exposure mode were significant using the stratified CMH statistic (p<0.05).

++ In a comparison of data in Tables 7 and 8, the difference by sex for this item was significant using the stratified CMH statistic; the percentage was higher for males (p<0.05).
