The CDC's NCHHSTP and other HIV surveillance programs have agreed to
limit the amount of data released at the state and county levels in
order to protect the privacy of those affected. It takes 12 months
for the data to become official, so the numbers reported before this
time are not final and should be interpreted with caution.

some of the data is adjusted to account for missing information on
how people became infected with HIV. This means that the data may
change as more information becomes available.

Given the preliminary status of the 2022 and 2023 data, we've opted to

Refers to confirmed HIV infections via laboratory or clinical evidence
within a specific calendar year. Counts are for individuals aged 13 or
older diagnosed with HIV during the year. Age is determined by the
person's age at the time of infection. All metrics sourced from the

cases.

Adjusted using the total number of diagnosed cases and subsequent
deaths from CDC’s Atlas database. The Asian category includes cases
classified as "Asian/Pacific Islander" using the pre-1997 OMB

metrics are determined by estimating the total number of individuals
who have ever been infected with HIV (diagnosed and undiagnosed cases)

with HIV and subsequently died provided by the CDC’s Atlas database.
