Both the 1985 WorldHealthOrganizationAIDS surveillance casedefinition and the 1994expandedWorldHealthOrganizationAIDScasedefinition are casedefinitions for AIDS surveillance and not for clinically staging HIV infection.
The main change from the Bangui definition is the addition of an HIV test for HIV antibody.
If this test gives a positive result and one or more of the following conditions, the individual is considered to have AIDS.
AIDS is the fifth leading cause of death among all adults aged 25 to 44 in the United States.
In the United States, the first cases of AIDS were reported in 1981 among homosexual men in New York and California, and retrospective examination of frozen blood samples from a U.S. cohort of gay men showed the presence of HIV antibodies as early as 1978, but not before then.
In 1998, AIDS was the fifth leading cause of death among women aged 25 to 44 in the United States, and the third leading cause of death among African-American women in that age group.
