| Note. These numbers do not represent actual cases in persons who died with AIDS. Rather, these numbers are point estimates of cases in persons who died with AIDS that have been adjusted for delays in reporting of deaths and for redistribution of cases in persons initially reported without an identified risk. The estimates have not been adjusted for incomplete reporting.
|
| a |
Includes persons who died with AIDS, from the
beginning of the epidemic through 2002. |
| b |
Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion,
perinatal, and risk factor not reported or not identified. |
| c |
Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion,
and risk factor not reported or not identified. |
| d |
Includes persons of unknown race or multiple
races and persons of unknown sex. Cumulative total includes
304 persons of unknown race or multiple races. Because
column totals were calculated independently of the values
for the subpopulations, the values in each column may not
sum to the column total. |
