NOTE: These tables should be used only for race/ethnicity and age comparisons, not for overall totals or gender totals. This is because, if age or race/ethnicity was not specified, cases were prorated according to the distribution of cases for which these variables were specified. For the following years, the states listed did not report race/ethnicity for most cases and were excluded: 1996 (NJ, and NY); 1997 (ID, NJ, and NY); 1998 (ID and NJ). Cases and population denominators have been excluded for these states/areas. Differences between total cases from this table and others in the report are due to different reporting forms and above listed exclusions. The 0 to 9 year age group is not shown because some of these may not be due to sexual transmission; however, they are included in the totals.
