I had not appreciated how many people were dying of AIDS in the early 90s. The chart below shows cause of death in the USA per 100,000 population aged 15-49, with HIV deaths peaking at 26.4 in 1994, accounting for about 14% of deaths in this age group. For comparison, COVID-19 deaths peaked at 37.5 per 100k in this age group (about 20%, but also affected older adults strongly)

One revelation from the paper is that US mortality rates are the worst among high-income countries until we reach 80 years old, then we are among the best. This seems to be due to our success in screening for cancers. I wonder how COVID19 has affected this.
