§ For gender, the numbers of records reported as transgender, missing, or invalid are as follows: in the columns under “Valid CDC-funded HIV tests,” 36,163 (1.2%) of all CDC-funded valid HIV tests and 26,556 (1.4%) of valid HIV tests in EHE jurisdictions; in the columns under “New HIV diagnoses,” 245 (2.1%) of total new diagnoses and 185 (2.3%) of new diagnoses in EHE jurisdictions; in the columns under “Previous HIV diagnoses,” 241 (2.1%) of total previous diagnoses and 206 (2.3%) of previous diagnoses in EHE jurisdictions.

Persons who inject drugs include persons who reported injection drug use in the past 12 months. Heterosexual males include males who only reported sexual contact with a female in the past 12 months.
