United State HIV/AIDS Statistics by State

 

 

At the end of 2003, an estimated 395,317 people were living with AIDS in the 50 states of the USA and the District of Columbia. The highest numbers are in California, Florida, New York and Texas.

In the 33 states which have a history of confidential HIV reporting, an estimated 174,396 people were living with HIV that had not progressed to AIDS. According to the number of AIDS cases reported to the CDC, these 33 areas represent approximately 43% of the US epidemic. The total number of people living with HIV (not AIDS) in the USA must therefore be much higher.

Notes

The latest statistics on AIDS & HIV in the USA were published in December 2004 by the US Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The next data are due December 2005.

There is often a delay between the time of diagnosis of HIV or AIDS, or the time of death, and the time at which the event is reported. For this reason the CDC estimates the number of people living with HIV or AIDS by adjusting for reporting delays. No adjustment is made for incomplete reporting. On this page, all numbers are CDC estimates.

These HIV figures include only those states with confidential HIV reporting. Since there are no individual laws requiring states to report cases of HIV infection, there are some blank spaces in the table. More states are implementing such reporting in response to the changing epidemic and the need for information on persons with HIV infection. It is hoped that all states will be reporting cases to the CDC in the near future.

On this page "adults and adolescents" are defined as persons aged 13 years or more.
