In the report, "Risks for HIV Infection Among Persons Residing
in
Rural Areas and Small Cities -- Selected Sites, Southern United
States,
1995-1996," the first sentence (page 974) gave an incorrect
proportion for
cases among persons residing in rural areas. The sentence should
read: The
southern region of the United States * accounts for the largest
proportion
(35%) of the 641,086 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
cases
reported through 1997 and for 54% of 36,436 AIDS cases among
persons
residing in rural areas and 51% of 22,253 AIDS cases among persons
residing
in small cities (CDC, unpublished data, 1998).
