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.
Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection (not AIDS), a diagnosis of HIV infection and a later diagnosis of AIDS, or concurrent
diagnoses of HIV infection and AIDS.
