 AB    This study measured the migration of persons with the acquired
       immunodeficiency virus (AIDS) between diagnosis and death using AIDS
       case and death reports from 12 states for 1985 to 1992. Of 49,805
       persons with AIDS, 10.6% changed their place of residence, and half of
       these individuals who moved changed their state of residence. Migration
       had relatively little impact on the numbers of persons with AIDS in the
       largest metropolitan areas, which accounted for approximately 90% of
       AIDS diagnoses. Although only 3% of deaths occurred in residents of
       nonmetropolitan areas, the net effect of migration was a 24% increase in
       the number of persons with AIDS residing in such areas.
