Abbreviation: Asterisk (*) indicates cell too small (<12 diagnoses during the year) and data has been suppressed.
Rates are per 100,000 population. Rates are not calculated by transmission category because of the lack of denominator data.
a Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
b 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.
d Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
e Urban: population of ≥500,000. Suburban: population of 50,000– 499,999. Rural: nonmetropolitan area (<50,000).
fTotals do not represent all adults whose HIV infection was diagnosed during 2017 in these areas..
