Source of the data was the Medical Monitoring Project, 2009 and 2011.^12,13

Data presented No. (%) are sample size (weighted percentage). Facility and patient data were weighted based on known probabilities of selection and adjusted for nonresponse using predictors of facility-level and patient-level response. The sample design and weighting methods allow inference to all outpatient HIV health care facilities providing care and HIV-infected persons receiving care in the United States during the first 4 months of the cycle year (2009 and 2011).

Participants who reported no anal, vaginal, or oral sex in the past 12 months were categorized according to self-reported sexual orientation.

Includes Asian, American Indian, Alaska native, Native Hawaiian, Other Pacific Islander, and multiracial groups.

During the 1-year period preceding the interview (2009 data were collected in interviews conducted between June 2009 and May 2010; 2011 data were collected in interviews conducted between June 2011 and May 2012).

Determined using the US Department of Health and Human Services poverty guidelines.¹⁶

Having health insurance or coverage does not include having only RWHAP assistance.

AIDS was defined as confirmed HIV infection with either: a CD4+ T-lymphocyte cell count less than 200 cells/µL, a CD4+ T-lymphocyte cell percentage of total lymphocytes less than 14%, or a diagnosis of a stage 3–defining opportunistic illness.
