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.
