 AB    In 1993, local, state, and territorial health departments reported to
       CDC 58,538 cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) among
       racial/ethnic minorities (Table 1). A total of 38,544 (66%) cases were
       reported among blacks, 18,888 (32%) among Hispanics, 767 (1%) among
       Asians/Pacific Islanders, and 339 (1%) among American Indians/Alaskan
       Natives. These cases represented 55% of the 106,949 AIDS cases reported
       in the United States in 1993. Rates of AIDS and modes of human
       immunodeficiency virus (HIV) exposure varied substantially both among
       and within minority populations. This report describes these differences
       and summarizes the epidemiologic characteristics of AIDS cases reported
       among racial/ethnic minorities during 1993.
