* Includes persons diagnosed with HIV infection with or without AIDS.
† Data as of June 2006, adjusted for reporting delays and risk factor redistribution.
§ Because subpopulation values were calculated independently, the values might not sum to the row total.
Diagnoses were classified in the following hierarchy of transmission categories: 1) male-to-male sexual contact (i.e., among men who have sex with men [MSM]); 2) injection-drug use (IDU), 3) MSM with IDU; 4) high-risk heterosexual contact (i.e., sex with a person of the opposite sex or at high risk for HIV/AIDS [e.g., MSM or injection-drug user]); and 5) other (e.g., hemophilia or blood transfusion) and all risk factors not reported or not identified.
** Northeast: New Jersey and New York. Midwest: Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. South: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. West: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.
