aData collected from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National HIV Surveillance System 1 and the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. 14 Numbers <12 and rates based on these numbers should be interpreted with caution. Census data by race and transmission category were not available for Puerto Rico; numbers and rates for Puerto Rico are not shown but are included in the total.

bData have been statistically adjusted to account for missing data on transmission.

cRates not calculated because of lack of denominator data.

dHeterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.

eIncludes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified.

fArea of residence defined as metropolitan (large metropolitan area with ≥500 000 population), urban (smaller metropolitan area with 50 000-499 999 population), or rural (nonmetropolitan area with <50 000 population). 15

gTotals may not be representative of all people with HIV in these areas during 2017.
