Note. These numbers do not represent reported case counts. Rather, these numbers are point estimates, which result from adjustments of reported case counts. The reported case counts have been adjusted for reporting delays and for redistribution of cases in persons initially reported without an identified risk factor, but not for incomplete reporting.
a
Includes 3,616 persons of unknown race or multiple races.
b
Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
c
Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
d
Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
