Diagnoses of HIV Infection among Adults and Adolescents, by Race/Ethnicity, 2006–2009 — 40 States and 5 U.S. Dependent Areas. From 2006-2009, blacks/African Americans constituted the largest percentage of diagnoses of HIV infection each year. In 2009, among adults and adolescents diagnosed with HIV infection in the 40 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006, 50% were black/African American, 28% were white, 19% were Hispanic/Latino, 1% each were Asian and persons reporting multiple races, and less than 1% were American Indian/Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander. The following 40 states have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The 5 U.S. dependent areas include American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.

HIV Infection in Blacks/African Americans— 40 States and 5 U.S. Dependent Areas During 2006 through 2009, more than half of the diagnoses of HIV infection in the United States and dependent areas were in persons of minority races/ethnicities. Blacks/African Americans account for a disproportionate share of diagnoses of HIV infection in comparison to persons of other races/ethnicities. From 2006 through 2009, there were an estimated 171,840 diagnoses of HIV infection in the 40 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006. During this time period, blacks/African Americans accounted for 50% of the total number diagnosed with HIV infection; black/African American women accounted for 64% of total women diagnosed with HIV infection; and 66% of all diagnosed HIV infections attributed to heterosexual contact were among blacks/African Americans. Additionally, 68% of children diagnosed with HIV infection from 2006-2009 were black/African American. In 2009 alone, 50% of the total estimated number of diagnoses of HIV infection among adults and adolescents were among blacks/African Americans. The following 40 states have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Adults and Adolescents Living with a Diagnosis of HIV Infection, by Race/Ethnicity, Year-end 2008 — 40 States At the end of 2008, an estimated 660,061 adults and adolescents were living with HIV infection in the 40 states with confidential name-based HIV infection surveillance since at least January 2006. The overall rate of adults and adolescents living with a diagnosis of HIV infection at the end of 2008 was 333.7 per 100,000 population. The rate (per 100,000 population) of adult and adolescent blacks/African Americans living with a diagnosis of HIV infection (1,216.7) was higher than that of all other races, and was nearly 8 times as high as the rate for whites (154.1), and approximately 2.5 times as high as the rate for Hispanics/Latinos (498.8). Relatively few adults and adolescents living with a diagnosis of HIV infection were Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander and persons reporting multiple races; however, the rates of American Indians/Alaska Natives (157.9), Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders (243.4) and persons reporting multiple races (480.3) were higher than that of whites. The following 40 states have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

AIDS Diagnoses among Minority Races/Ethnicities, 1985-2009, United States and Dependent Areas The estimated number of AIDS diagnoses increased each year from 1985 through 1993. The 1993 expansion of the AIDS case definition resulted in an increase in the number of AIDS diagnoses. In 1996, the introduction and widespread use of antiretroviral therapies, which slow the progression of HIV infection to AIDS, resulted in declines in AIDS diagnoses. However, the proportion of AIDS diagnoses among minority races/ethnicities has continued to increase. In 2009, there were an estimated 24,836 AIDS diagnoses among persons of minority races/ethnicities, accounting for 71% of total AIDS diagnoses that year in the United States and dependent areas. All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. Data on minority races/ethnicities include American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asians, Blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders. The Asian category includes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases (cases that were diagnosed and reported under the old race/ethnicity classification system). Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.

AIDS Diagnoses among Adults and Adolescents, by Race/Ethnicity and Year of Diagnosis, 1985-2009— United States and Dependent Areas The distribution of AIDS diagnoses among racial/ethnic groups has changed since the beginning of the epidemic. The percentage of AIDS diagnoses among adult and adolescent whites has decreased while the percentages among blacks/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos have increased. The percentages of AIDS cases among Asians, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders, and persons reporting multiple races have remained relatively constant, each representing between 0%-2% of all diagnoses. The percentage of AIDS diagnoses among adult and adolescent blacks/African Americans exceeded that of whites for the first time in 1994 and has continued to increase since that time. In 2009, an estimated 48% of AIDS diagnoses were among blacks/African Americans, 27% of diagnoses were among whites, 21% were among Hispanics/Latinos, 2% were among persons reporting multiple races, 1% were among Asians, and less than 1% each were among American Indian/Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander. All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. The Asian category includes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases (cases that were diagnosed and reported under the old race/ethnicity classification system). Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.

AIDS Diagnoses and Population, by Race/Ethnicity, 2009—United States The pie chart on the left illustrates the distribution of AIDS diagnoses by race/ethnicity in 2009 in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. The pie chart on the right shows the racial/ethnic distribution of the U.S. population (excluding U.S. dependent areas) in 2009. Blacks/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos are disproportionately affected by AIDS in comparison with their percentage distribution in the general population. In 2009, blacks/African Americans accounted for 12% of the U.S. population, but accounted for 49% of AIDS diagnoses in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Hispanics/Latinos accounted for 16% of the U.S. population, but accounted for 20% of AIDS diagnoses. Whites accounted for 65% of the U.S. population, but accounted for 28% of AIDS diagnoses. All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. The Asian category includes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases (cases that were diagnosed and reported under the old race/ethnicity classification system). Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race. More information on the HIV epidemic and HIV prevention among blacks/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos is available in CDC fact sheets at http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pubs/facts.htm.

Survival after an AIDS Diagnosis during 1998–2005, by Months Survived and Race/Ethnicity— United States and Dependent Areas This slide shows the proportion of persons surviving after an AIDS diagnosis during 1998–2005 in 12 month increments by race/ethnicity. Survival was greatest among Asians. Survival was greater among Asians, whites and Hispanics/Latinos than among blacks/African Americans and persons reporting multiple races. Results must be interpreted with caution for American Indians/Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders because the numbers of persons in these racial/ethnic categories were small. Data exclude persons whose month of diagnosis or month of death is unknown. The Asian category includes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases (cases that were diagnosed and reported under the old race/ethnicity classification system). Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
