OBJECTIVE: To describe reported cases of AIDS in B.C. through 1988 and to analyze trends. METHODS: The 464 AIDS cases reported in B.C. to the end of 1988 are divided into two halves: the initial 232 cases (Group I) and the latest 232 cases (Group II). The characteristics of these two groups are described and compared. RESULTS: TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT VOLUME. CONCLUSIONS: Recently reported cases of AIDS in British Columbia are occurring more frequently as a result of heterosexual transmission. All other characteristics have remained stable over time. The incidence of AIDS has slowed considerably.
