Note. These numbers do not represent actual cases in persons living with AIDS. Rather, these numbers are point estimates of persons living with AIDS that have been adjusted for reporting delays. The estimates have not been adjusted for incomplete reporting. Because column totals were calculated independently of the values for the subpopulations, the values in each column may not sum to the column total.
a Includes persons of unknown race or multiple races.
