Data in Tables 3-5 are based on the following analyses:
  • Among patients eligible according to guidelines in place in 1999 (2), what is the proportion of patients prescribed ART in ASD in 1999 and SHDC in 1998?
  • In SHAS, among patients interviewed in 1999 with CD4 <500 cells/µL, what is the proportion of patients who reported taking ART at the time of their interview?
Data Source Total White Black Hispanic Asian/Pacific

*The ASD total contains 23 patients with unknown race/ethnicity. The SHAS total contains 23 patients with unknown race/ethnicity.
  • The proportion of eligible patients currently prescribed antiretroviral therapy by race/ethnicity was 68–95%.
  • Greater proportions of whites were currently prescribed antiretroviral therapy compared with blacks.
  • Proportions by race/ethnicity were comparable for the SHAS study, with slightly lower proportions of American Indians/Alaska Natives and blacks receiving antiretroviral therapy compared with other races/ethnicities.
  • Proportions were not presented for Hispanics, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and American Indian/Alaska Natives in SHDC because estimates were based on a small number of cases.
  • Results for racial and ethnic groups with small numerators and/or denominators should be interpreted with caution.
  • Data from the MOPTB study were not available for this question.
