Abstract
At present, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) remains a relatively uncommon diagnosis among adolescents; those between 13 and 19 years of age account for less than 1% of diagnosed cases of AIDS in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1993). Recent data indicate, however, that the rate of AIDS among adolescents has increased markedly over the course of the epidemic (Hein, 1992), with African-American adolescents disproportionately represented among AIDS cases (Bowler, Sheon, D’Angelo, & Vermund, 1993; DiClemente, 1992a; 1993).
