HIV/AIDS Surveillance Supplemental Report. Volume 14, Number 2. Cases of HIV Infection and AIDS in the United States and Dependent Areas, by Race/Ethnicity, 2003-2007

摘要

This report complements the information in the 2007 HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report and updates the information in the supplementary report on race/ethnicity data from 2002 through 2006 (HIV/AIDS Surveillance Supplemental Report 2008;13(No. 1)). In this report, we present estimated numbers of cases of HIV infection, including cases of HIV infection that progressed to AIDS. These data are stratified by the following races and ethnic groups: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, and white (data for Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders must be interpreted with caution because of the small numbers of cases). See Technical Notes for an explanation of race and ethnicity categorization.
