b

The numbers for “BED tested” do not count cases who were diagnosed with AIDS at or within 6 months after HIV diagnosis and they were risk redistributed but not adjusted for reporting delay.

c

The numbers for 2006 diagnoses were adjusted for reporting delay and risk redistribution.

d

CI, confidence interval. The confidence intervals reflect model uncertainty but cannot be used to compare the models.

e

Race and transmission category subgroup numbers may not add up to the overall total because cases with unknown race or unknown transmission categories are excluded. However, percents are adjusted for the exclusion so they add up to 100%.

f

MSM, men who have sex with men; IDU, injection drug users.
