Note. Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis.

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 by race/ethnicity are not provided because U.S. census information is limited for U.S. dependent areas. 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.
