To determine factors associated with health insurance coverage among persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), we interviewed 1958 persons 18 years of age or older who were reported to have AIDS in 11 states and cities. Overall, 25% had no insurance, 55% had public insurance, and 20% had private insurance. Factors associated with lack of insurance varied by current employment status. Employed persons with an annual household income of less than $10,000 were 3.6 times more likely to lack insurance than employed persons with a higher income. Unemployed persons diagnosed with AIDS for less than 1 year were two times more likely to lack health insurance than unemployed persons diagnosed for a longer time. Making insurance available to persons identified as most likely to lack insurance should improve access to care for persons with AIDS
