Abbreviation: Asterisk (*) indicates cell too small (<12 diagnoses during the year) and data has been suppressed. Dash (—) indicates absence of denominator data and rate is not calculated.
Note: Rates are per 100,000 population. Rates are not calculated by transmission category because of the lack of denominator data. The American Community Survey does not provide age- and sex-specific social determinants of health variables stratified by race and ethnicity for racial groups except Whites (i.e., White, not-Hispanic/Latino). Therefore, the denominators used for computing race-specific rates may include Hispanics/Latinos and should be interpreted with caution.
a Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island; Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin; South: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia; West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
b Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
c Data have been statistically adjusted to account for the missing transmission category.
d Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
e Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
f Urban: population of ≥500,000. Suburban: population of 50,000– 499,999. Rural: nonmetropolitan area (<50,000)
g Totals do not represent all adults whose HIV infection was diagnosed during 2017 in these areas.
