Note. Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. Deaths among persons diagnosed with HIV infection may be due to any cause.
See Technical Notes for the list of areas that have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2005.
a Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information, but not for incomplete reporting. Rates are per 100,000 population. Rates not calculated by transmission category because of the lack of denominator data.
b Includes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases (see Technical Notes).
c Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
d Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
e Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
f Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
g Includes persons of unknown race/ethnicity. Because column totals for estimated numbers were calculated independently of the values for the subpopulations, the values in each column may not sum to the column total.
