 -- The age distribution of AIDS cases has been remarkably
constant between 1981 and 1987:  47% of the cases occur
between the ages of 30 and 39, and about 21% are between ages
40 and 49.  But the geographic distribution is changing.  Prior
to 1985 the vast majority of the cases were reported in New
York and California.  But those states now account for less
than half of the new cases.  Between 1985 and 1986, the
incidence of AIDS increased most rapidly in Texas and
Illinois.
