To the Editor: The chance of, and so the delay in, encountering a condition depends on its prevalence. A new doctor was likely to wait longer to see his first case of AIDS in 1983 than in 1993. Similarly, a patient is likely to meet the human immunodeficiency virus after fewer exposures now than 15 years ago. The decline in the age at infection that Dr. Rosenberg and his colleagues (March 17 issue)¹ describe was to be expected.
