Note. These numbers do not represent reported case counts. Rather, these numbers are point estimates, which result from adjustments of reported case counts. The reported case counts are adjusted for reporting delays and for redistribution of cases in persons initially reported without an identified risk factor. The estimates do not include adjustment for incomplete reporting.


^a	Includes persons with a diagnosis of AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic.
^b	Includes heterosexual contact with a person who is HIV infected, a male who engages in male-to-male sex, a person who injects drugs, has hemophilia or coagulation disorder, or is a transplant or transfusion recipient.
^c	Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
^d	Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
^e	Includes persons of unknown race or multiple races and persons of unknown sex. Because column totals were calculated independently of the values for the subpopulations, the values in each column may not sum to the column total.
