The distribution of the incubation period for the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)

This paper contains details of methods and full results of estimates of the incubation period of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) that were outlined in a previous paper by Medley et al. (Nature, Lond. 328, 719 (1987)). The original model is modified to assess the influence of age and sex on the incubation period: age, but not sex, is statistically significant. The difficulties associated with interpretation of these data, and the additional information that would be required to resolve these difficulties are discussed.
