Abstract
SUMMARY: Estimation of the rate of diagnosis of HIV infection in a population of HIV infected persons is considered based on AIDS case reports and associated times of first diagnosis of HIV infection. The incorporation of a model for HIV infection diagnosis into the usual backcalculation framework is described. The methods are illustrated for AIDS reports on homosexual men in England and Wales.
