* Past or present hepatitis C data from Florida, one of the 7 funded sites, were not included in this table.  Past or present hepatitis C data from all funded sites, including Florida, will be published in an updated table in July.
† Cases and population estimates from New York excluded those who resided in New York City.
§ Cases from Washington excluded Snohomish County, Pierce County, and 90% of King County.
¶ Cases can be reported with more than one laboratory test result. The denominator used to calculate proportions was the total number of cases reported for each site.
