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.
b Entries include persons whose place of birth is not among those listed and persons whose place of birth is unknown.
c Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
d Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
e 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.
