艾滋病在很大程度上被描述为主要城市地区的一个问题。然而，艾滋病发病率低的州处理问题的角度与艾滋病高发州有所不同。 “低发病率”和“高发病率”这两个术语可能会产生误导：如果一个州将其艾滋病病例与另一个州进行比较，则比较结果可能确实显示艾滋病发病率相对较低。然而，如果与同一州内的其他疾病进行比较，可能会出现截然不同的情况。在低发病率州，一些感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的人可能会向治疗艾滋病病例有更多经验的医生寻求医疗护理，这既是因为他们认为医疗护理更好，也减少了污名化。尽管人数可能相对较少，但在大都市地区寻求治疗的艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者数量可能会增加该国某些地区已经出现的医疗保健负担。
AIDS has been largely described as a problem of major urban areas. However, states in which there is a low incidence of AIDS are dealing with issues from somewhat different perspectives than high-incidence states. The terms "low incidence" and "high incidence" can be misleading: If one state compares its AIDS cases to another state, the comparison may indeed show a comparatively low incidence of AIDS. However, if the comparison is made with other diseases within the same state, a quite different picture may emerge. In low-incidence states, some individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may seek medical care from physicians who have more experience in treating AIDS cases, both because of a perception of better medical care and less stigmatization. Although the numbers may be relatively small, the number of HIV/AIDS patients seeking care in large metropolitan areas may add to the health care burden already being seen in some parts of the country.
