* Includes persons diagnosed with HIV infection with or without AIDS.
Data as of June 2006, adjusted for reporting delays and risk factor redistribution.
§ Diagnoses were classified in the following hierarchy of transmission categories: 1) male-to-male sexual contact (i.e., among men who have sex with men [MSM]); 2) injection-drug use (IDU), 3) MSM with IDU; 4) high-risk heterosexual contact (i.e., sex with a person of the opposite sex or at high risk for HIV/AIDS [e.g., MSM or injection-drug user]); and 5) other (e.g., hemophilia or blood transfusion) and all risk factors not reported or not identified.
Because subpopulation values were calculated independently, the values might not sum to the row total.
