Impact. of the human immunodeficiency virus epidemic on mortality in women of reproductive age, United States. Journal of the American Medical association, 264 (2) , 225-229. For both black and white women 15 to 44 years of age, death rates for HIV / AIDS have increased steadilysince 1985. for black women, the age adjusted death rate increased from 4.4 per 100,000 in 1986 to 10.3 per 100,000 in 1988. For white women, the age adjusted death rate for HIV/ AIDS increased from 0.6 per 100,000 in 1985 to 1.2 per 100,000 in 1988. The 1988 death rate for HIV/ AIDS in blackwomen 15 to 44 years of age was nine times the rate in white women of the same age. The majority ofdeaths in both black and white womenoccured in women to 34 years of age, for whom HIV-relateddeaths accounted for 10.6% and 2.6% of all death in 1988, respectively. If current mortality trends continue, AIDS can be expected to become one of five leading causes ofdeath by 1991. Because women infcted with HIV are the major source of infection for infants withAIDS, these trends inn AIDS mortality in women forecast the impact of the HIV epidemic on mortality inchildren as well. As the number of pediactric cases increases the medical and social costs will bestaggering. babies infected with HIV coost the Medicaid system $18,000 to $42,000 a year. In 1989, there were 2,825 new cases of AIDS among women of reproductive age. Table 1- Deaths Attributable to HIV/AIDS in Women 15 to 44 Years of Age, United States, 1980Through 1988.
