Surveillance of HIV Infection

Persons aged 50 years and older account for a substantial number of HIV infections. Persons aged 50 years and older accounted for 17% of all diagnoses in 2018 and 51% of persons living with diagnosed HIV infection in the United States in 2018 [1]. Understanding the burden of HIV among different subgroups of older persons can help HIV programs to focus on populations and areas at greatest need for HIV prevention, treatment, and care services. Data presented for persons aged 50 years and older were reported (after the removal of personally identifiable information) to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through December 2019. Please use caution when interpreting the following:

  • Data on diagnoses of HIV infection. HIV surveillance reports may not be representative of all persons with HIV because not all infected persons have been (1) tested or (2) tested at a time when the infection could be detected and diagnosed. Also, some states offer anonymous HIV testing; the results of anonymous tests are not reported to the confidential, name-based HIV registries of state and local health departments. Therefore, reports of confidential test results may not represent all persons who tested positive for HIV infection.
  • Deaths and prevalence-based data. Data for the year 2018 are considered preliminary and are based on deaths reported to CDC through December 2019.
  • Numbers less than 12, and rates and trends based on these numbers.

Data re-release agreements between CDC and state/local HIV surveillance programs require specific levels of cell suppression at the state and county level in order to ensure confidentiality of personally identifiable information.

Tabulation and Presentation of Data

The data are presented for adults aged 50 years and older with HIV infection diagnosed during 2014–2018. The tables also present data for persons living with diagnosed HIV infection (prevalence) as of December 31 of the specified year. Tables are presented in 2 formats. Tables in the first format—labeled “a”—exclude data from the dependent areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the Republic of Palau, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Tables in the second format— labeled “b”—include data from the dependent areas.

Diagnosis of HIV Infection

Diagnoses of HIV infection are the numbers and rates of persons aged 50 years and older with HIV diagnosed during the specified years (Tables 1a/b–6). The term diagnosis of HIV infection is defined as a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of the stage of disease (stage 0, 1, 2, 3 [AIDS], or unknown) and refers to all persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection. Data from all areas (where indicated) are included in tables displaying numbers and rates of diagnoses of HIV infection and of diagnoses of infection classified as stage 3 (AIDS) at time of HIV diagnosis (Tables 18a/b–20a/b), by selected characteristics, area of residence, and region of residence. For tables presenting diagnosis data, region or area of residence reflects the address at the time of HIV diagnosis.

More information on counting diagnoses of HIV infection can be found in the Technical Notes of the 2018 HIV Surveillance Report at https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/library/reports/hiv-surveillance/vol-31/index.html.

Prevalence: Persons Living with Diagnosed HIV Infection

Prevalence trends and data reflect persons living with diagnosed HIV infection, regardless of the stage of disease, at the end of a given year during 2014–2018 (Tables 7a/b–13). For tables presenting prevalence data, region or area of residence is based on most recent known address as of the end of the specified year. Data for the year 2018 are considered preliminary and are based on death data reported to CDC through December 2019. Due to incomplete reporting of deaths for the year 2018, prevalence data for Alabama, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and the U.S. Virgin Islands should be interpreted with caution.

Deaths

Persons reported to the National HIV Surveillance System are assumed alive unless their deaths have been reported to CDC. Death data include deaths of persons with diagnosed HIV infection, regardless of the cause of death (Tables 14a/b–17a/b). Data for the year 2018 are preliminary and are based on death data reported to CDC through December 2019. For tables presenting death data, region of residence is based on residence at death. If information on residence at death was not available, the state where a person’s death occurred was used. Trends through 2018 should be interpreted with caution. Due to incomplete reporting of deaths for the year 2018, death data for Alabama, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and the U.S. Virgin Islands should be interpreted with caution.

Rates

Rates per 100,000 population were calculated for (1) the numbers of diagnoses of HIV infection, (2) the numbers of persons living with diagnosed HIV infection (prevalence), and (3) the numbers of deaths of persons with diagnosed HIV infection.

The population denominators used to compute the rates for areas in the United States and Puerto Rico were based on the Vintage 2018 postcensal estimates file from the U.S. Census Bureau (for years 2014–2018) [2]. The population denominators for American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the U.S. Virgin Islands were based on estimates and projections from the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database [3]. Each rate was calculated by dividing the total number of diagnoses (or deaths or prevalence) for the calendar year by the population for that calendar year and then multiplying the result by 100,000. The denominators used for calculating the rates specific to age, sex, and race/ethnicity were computed by applying the appropriate vintage estimates for age, sex, and race/ethnicity for the 50 states and the District of Columbia [2]. The same method was used to calculate the denominators for Puerto Rico, with the exception of race/ethnicity estimates; these data are not available for Puerto Rico. For the other 5 U.S. dependent areas, estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Data Base were used for age- and sex-specific population denominators [3].

CDC currently does not provide subpopulation rates by race/ethnicity for the 6 dependent areas because the U.S. Census Bureau does not collect information from all U.S. dependent areas. Rates for gender and transmission categories are not provided because of the absence of denominator data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the source of data used for calculating all rates in the tables.

Age

The designation “older adults” refers to persons aged 50 years and older. For tables presenting diagnosis data, the age-group assignment (e.g., 50–64 years) or age designation (i.e., older adults) is based on the person’s age at the time of diagnosis (HIV infection or infection classified as stage 3 [AIDS] at time of HIV diagnosis). For presentations of data on older adults living with diagnosed HIV infection (Tables 7a/b–13), specific age-group assignment or age designation is based on the person’s age as of December 31 of the specified year. For tables presenting death data of persons with diagnosed HIV infection (Tables 14a/b–17a/b), specific age-group assignment or age designation is based on the person’s age at the time of death.

Geographic Designations: U.S. Regions

Geographic designations reflect the region or area of residence at the time of diagnosis of HIV infection for tables presenting diagnosis data (Tables 1a/b–6, 18a/b–20a/b). Prevalence data reflect the region or area of residence based on the most recent known address as of the end of the specified year (Tables 7a/b–13). Death data reflect the region or area of residence based on residence at death (Tables 14a/b–17a/b).

Map of US census regions. The 4 regions of residence used in this report are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as follows: •	Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont •	Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin •	South: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia (D.C.), Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia •	West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming

Metropolitan Statistical Areas

In the Federal Register for June 28, 2010, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published revised standards for defining metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in federal statistical activities [4]. These standards, which provided for the identification of MSAs in the United States and Puerto Rico, replaced the 2000 standards. The adoption of the new standards was effective as of June 28, 2010. On February 28, 2013, OMB announced new MSA delineations based on the new standards and Census 2010 data [5]. Table 13 (Adults aged 50 years and older living with diagnosed HIV infection, by population of area of residence, age group, and selected characteristics, year-end 2018—United States) presents the number and rate of prevalence by MSA. The MSAs listed in these tables were defined according to OMB’s most recent update (February 2013) of statistical areas [5].

Note. Numbers less than 12, and rates and trends based on these numbers, should be interpreted with caution.
aRates are per 100,000 population. Rates by race/ethnicity are not provided because U.S. census information for U.S. dependent areas is limited. Rates are not calculated by transmission category because of the lack of denominator data.
bHispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
cData have been statistically adjusted to account for missing transmission category; therefore, values may not sum to the column subtotals and total.
dHeterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
eIncludes hemophilia, blood transfusion, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
fData are based on residence at time of diagnosis of HIV infection.

Note. Numbers less than 12, and rates and trends based on these numbers, should be interpreted with caution.
aRates are per 100,000 population. Rates by race/ethnicity are not provided because U.S. census information for U.S. dependent areas is limited. Rates are not calculated by transmission category because of the lack of denominator data.
bHispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
cData have been statistically adjusted to account for missing transmission category; therefore, values may not sum to the column subtotals and total.
dHeterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
eIncludes hemophilia, blood transfusion, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
fData are based on residence at time of diagnosis of HIV infection.

Note. Numbers less than 12, and rates and trends based on these numbers, should be interpreted with caution.
aRates are per 100,000 population. Rates are not calculated by transmission category because of the lack of denominator data.
bData have been statistically adjusted to account for missing transmission category; therefore, values may not sum to the column subtotals and total.
cHeterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
dIncludes hemophilia, blood transfusion, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
eData are based on residence at time of diagnosis of HIV infection.

Note. Deaths of persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection may be due to any cause. Data for the year 2018 are considered preliminary and are based on death data reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through December 2019. Numbers less than 12, and rates and trends based on these numbers, should be interpreted with caution.
aRates are per 100,000 population. Rates are not calculated by transmission category because of the lack of denominator data.
bIncludes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases.
cHispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
dData have been statistically adjusted to account for missing transmission category; therefore, values may not sum to the column subtotals and total.
eHeterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
fIncludes hemophilia, blood transfusion, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
gData are based on residence at death. When information on residence at death was not available, state at death (where a person’s death occurred) was used.
hIncludes persons of unknown race/ethnicity.

Note. Deaths of persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection may be due to any cause. Data for the year 2018 are considered preliminary and are based on death data reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through December 2019. Numbers less than 12, and rates and trends based on these numbers, should be interpreted with caution.
aRates are per 100,000 population. Rates by race/ethnicity are not provided because U.S. census information for U.S. dependent areas is limited. Rates are not calculated by transmission category because of the lack of denominator data.
bIncludes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases.
cHispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
dData have been statistically adjusted to account for missing transmission category; therefore, values may not sum to the column subtotals and total.
eHeterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
fIncludes hemophilia, blood transfusion, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
gData are based on residence at death. When information on residence at death was not available, state at death (where a person’s death occurred) was used.
hIncludes persons of unknown race/ethnicity.
