1 These numbers do not represent the actual number of deaths among persons with AIDS. Rather, these numbers are point estimates adjusted for delays in the reporting of deaths and for redistribution of cases initially reported with no identified risk, but not for incomplete reporting of deaths. The year 2000 is the most recent year for which reliable estimates are available. See Technical Notes.
2 Statistical estimates for deaths in 2000 and 2001 among persons with AIDS exposed to HIV through hemophilia/coagulation disorder or receipt of blood transfusion, blood components, or tissue are not presented, but are included in the exposure category “other.” The relatively small number of AIDS cases in these categories in recent years does not provide information that results in reliable annual estimates of deaths (* = data not available); only cumulative estimates are presented. CDC is evaluating and revising the algorithm for estimating deaths among persons with AIDS infected in the early 1980's through these exposure categories.
3 For 2000 and 2001, estimates of “other” include cases exposed through hemophilia/coagulation disorder and receipt of blood transfusion, blood components, or tissue.
4 Because column totals were calculated independently of the values for the subpopulations, the values in each column may not sum to the column total.
