* Percentages are of all adults diagnosed with HIV from December 1, 2006 to December 31, 2008, and reported through July 31, 2010, in each area, excluding deaths.
Since 2005, two jurisdictions have had mandatory reporting of all CD4 and all VL values (Indiana, New York City) and two others have had mandatory reporting of all VL values and CD4 values below a threshold (Philadelphia, CD4 ≤_350 cells/mm3 and <25% of total lymphocytes and New Jersey, CD4 <200 cells/mm3). Washington has had reporting of all CD4 and all VL values since 2006; CD4 and viral load tests on the same date were counted as one test.
§ Age, race/ethnicity, or risk was missing for some individuals; MSM: man who has sex with men; IDU: injection drug user
** p value for comparison of CD4 < 200 cells/mm3vs CD4 ≥ 200 cells/mm3.
