Abbreviations: HIV = human immunodeficiency virus; PLWH = persons living with diagnosed HIV infection.
Data include persons with diagnosed HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. Deaths of persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection might have resulted from any cause.
Includes other races.
Estimates include statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing transmission category, but not for incomplete reporting.
Rate per 1,000 population aged ≥13 years living with diagnosed HIV infection (PLWH). Denominator was estimated as (no. PLWH at the end of [year X-1]) + (no. new diagnoses during year X).
Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risks factor not reported or not identified.
