Diagnosed HIV Infection Among Adults and Adolescents in Metropolitan Statistical Areas: United States and Puerto Rico, 2011. HIV Surveillance Report, Supplemental Report, Volume 18, Number 8, Revised March 2014.

摘要

To best direct resources toward communities with the greatest need, health planners often establish priorities by comparing the magnitude and effect of HIV disease amongst geographic areas. This surveillance supplemental report marks the first time estimated numbers and rates of diagnoses of HIV infection have been included from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The report complements the 2011 HIV Surveillance Report by presenting data on diagnoses of HIV infection during 2011 and persons living with diagnosed HIV infection at year-end 2010 (HIV prevalence) for adults and adolescents (aged 13 years and older) residing in metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs; population of 500,000 or more) in the United States and Puerto Rico.
