 AB    In 1993, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency
       syndrome (AIDS) was the fourth leading cause of death among women aged
       25-44 years in the United States (1); in addition, the incidence of AIDS
       is increasing more rapidly among women than men (2). Women with AIDS
       reported in 1994 represented 13% of the cumulative total of 58,448 cases
       among women. This report presents characteristics of women and men
       reported with AIDS in 1994, summarizes trends in cases reported during
       1985-1994, and describes findings of an HIV seroprevalence survey among
       childbearing women during 1989-1993.
