Abbreviations: HIV = human immunodeficiency virus; CI = confidence interval; MSM = men who have sex with men; NC = not calculated because population denominators for transmission category subgroups were unavailable; IDU = injection drug users.

* Estimates derived using extended back-calculation on HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) data for persons aged ≥13 years at diagnosis from 40 states that have had confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006, and AIDS data from 10 states (California, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington) and the District of Columbia.

Per 100,000 population.

§ Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.

Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factors not reported or not identified.
