Note. These
numbers do not represent actual cases in persons with a diagnosis of
AIDS. Rather, these numbers are point estimates of cases diagnosed
that have been adjusted for reporting delays and for redistribution of
cases in persons initially reported without an identified risk. The estimates
have not been adjusted for incomplete reporting.
a Includes
persons with a diagnosis of AIDS, from the beginning of the epidemic
through 2002.
b Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal, and risk
not reported or not identified.
c Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, and risk not reported or
not identified.
d Includes persons of unknown or multiple race and of unknown
sex. Cumulative total includes 887 persons of unknown or multiple race
and 2 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.
