Slide 1: Epidemiology of HIV Infection, through 2010.

For all slides in this series, the following notes apply:

Estimated numbers and rates of diagnoses of HIV infection are based on data from 46 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas that have had confidential name-based HIV infection reporting for a sufficient length of time (i.e., implemented in area since at least January 2007 and reported to CDC since at least June 2007) to allow for stabilization of data collection and for adjustment of the data in order to monitor trends.

Estimated numbers and rates of AIDS diagnoses are based on data from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 6 U.S. dependent areas. For the first time, the Republic of Palau has been included in numbers and rates of AIDS diagnoses, deaths, and persons living with AIDS.

Rates are not calculated by race/ethnicity for the 6 U.S. dependent areas because the U.S. Census Bureau does not collect information from all U.S. dependent areas.

Slide 22: AIDS Diagnoses and Deaths of Adults and Adolescents with AIDS, 1985–2009—United States and 6 U.S. Dependent Areas

The upper curve on the line graph represents the estimated number of AIDS diagnoses in the United States and dependent areas from 1985-2009; the lower curve represents the estimated number of deaths of adults and adolescents with an AIDS diagnosis during this time period. 

The peak in AIDS diagnoses during 1993 can be associated with the expansion of the AIDS surveillance case definition implemented in January 1993. The overall declines in new AIDS cases and deaths of persons with AIDS are due in part to the success of highly active antiretroviral therapies, introduced in 1996.
 
In recent years, AIDS diagnoses and deaths of persons with AIDS have remained stable.

All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. 
 
Deaths of persons with an AIDS diagnosis may be due to any cause (may not be AIDS-related). Deaths of persons with an AIDS diagnosis are classified as adult or adolescent based on age at death.

Slide 23: Numbers of AIDS Diagnoses among Adults and Adolescents, by Race/Ethnicity and Year of Diagnosis, 1985–2010—United States and 6 U.S. Dependent Areas.
                                        
During the early 1990’s the numbers of diagnoses among whites, blacks/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos increased, peaked during 1992-1993, and then decreased since that time.

However, decreases were not consistent across races/ethnicities: the number of AIDS diagnoses among blacks/African Americans surpassed whites for the first time in 1994 and has remained higher than whites and Hispanics/Latinos since that time.
 
All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting.
 
The Asian category includes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases (cases that were diagnosed and reported under the old race/ethnicity classification system).  
 
Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.

The number of AIDS diagnoses among persons with HIV infection attributed to male-to-male sexual contact continues to represent the highest number of AIDS diagnoses each year. However, AIDS diagnoses among persons with HIV infection attributed to injection drug use have continued to decline while heterosexual contact has increased. The numbers of AIDS diagnoses among persons with HIV infection attributed to heterosexual contact surpassed the number of those attributed to injection drug use for the first time in 2001 and have continued to account for the second highest number of AIDS diagnoses annually since that time.
 
All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information, but not for incomplete reporting.
 
Heterosexual contact is with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.

Slide 26: Percentanges of AIDS Diagnoses among Adults and Adolescents, by Transmission Category and Year of Diagnosis, 1985–2010 ― United States and 6 U.S. Dependent Areas.
                                        
The percentage distribution of AIDS diagnoses by transmission category has shifted since the beginning of the epidemic. In 1985, male-to-male sexual contact accounted for an estimated 65% of all AIDS diagnoses; this proportion reached its lowest point in 1999 at 40% of diagnoses. Since then, the percentage of AIDS diagnoses among persons with HIV infection attributed to male-to-male sexual contact has increased and in 2010 this transmission category accounted for 50% of all AIDS diagnoses.
 
The estimated percentage of AIDS diagnoses among persons with HIV infection attributed to injection drug use increased from 20% to 31% during 1985–1993 and decreased since that time accounting for 14% of diagnoses in 2010. 
 
The estimated percentage of AIDS diagnoses among persons with HIV infection attributed to male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use decreased from 9% in 1985 to 4% in 2010. 
 
The estimated percentage of AIDS diagnoses among persons with HIV infection attributed to heterosexual contact increased from 3% in 1985 to 31% in 2010. 
 
The remaining AIDS diagnoses were among persons with HIV infection attributed to hemophilia or the receipt of blood or blood products, perinatal exposure, and those in persons without an identified risk factor.
 
All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information, but not for incomplete reporting.
 
Heterosexual contact is with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.

Of AIDS diagnoses in 2010 among adult and adolescent males, 67% of HIV infections were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact and 15% were attributed to heterosexual contact. 

Approximately 12% of HIV infections were attributed to injection drug use and 6% were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use.
 
Most (77%) of the AIDS diagnoses in 2010 among adult and adolescent females had HIV infections attributed to heterosexual contact, and 21% attributed to injection drug use. 
 
All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information, but not for incomplete reporting.

The estimated rate (per 100,000 population) of AIDS diagnoses among adults and adolescents in 2010 for blacks/African Americans (53.4) was approximately 10 times the rate for whites (5.2) and nearly 3 times the rate for Hispanics/Latinos (18.6).  
 
Relatively few cases were diagnosed among Asians, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders, and persons reporting multiple races, although the rates for American Indians/Alaska Natives (9.0), Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders (12.2), and persons reporting multiple races (21.3) were higher than that for whites. The rate of AIDS diagnoses among Asians was 4.2 in 2010.

This slide shows increases in the number of adults and adolescents living with an AIDS diagnosis in the United States and dependent areas from 1993 through the end of 2009. 

The increase is due primarily to the widespread use of highly active antiretroviral therapy, introduced in 1996, which has delayed the progression of AIDS to death.

At the end of 2009, an estimated 487,414 adults and adolescents were living with an AIDS diagnosis; of these, 76% were male and 24% were female. 

All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. Persons living with an AIDS diagnosis are classified as adult or adolescent based on age at end of 2009.
