In 1992, the NHLBI decided to extend follow-up for another five years. The contractors applied for research grants which were approved by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Advisory Council in May 1992 and awarded in October, 1992. In the renewal, particular attention was given to identifying patterns of complications among demographic subgroups that had not been extensively studied, such as women and Blacks, and to defining differences between HIV transmission groups. The study ended in May, 1997.
