NOTE: These tables should be used only for race/ethnicity comparisons, not for age, sex, or overall totals. If age or race/ethnicity was not specified, cases were prorated according to the distribution of cases for which these variables were specified. For 1998, ID and NJ did not report age and/or race/ethnicity for most cases and were excluded. 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.
