Description:The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) collects, analyzes, and disseminates surveil- lance data on HIV infection; these data are one of the nation’s primary sources of information on HIV in the United States. The annual surveillance report, pub- lished by the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention, sum- marizes information about diagnosed HIV infection in the United States and dependent areas. HIV surveil- lance data are used by CDC’s public health partners in other federal agencies, health departments, nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, and the general public to help focus prevention efforts; plan services; allocate resources; develop policy; detect, monitor, and intervene in HIV clusters; and monitor trends in HIV infection.
Numbers and rates of diagnoses of HIV infection during 2011–2015 and preliminary numbers for 2016 are based on data from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 6 U.S. dependent areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the Republic of Palau, and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
Data are presented for diagnoses of HIV infection reported to CDC through June 2017.
During 2011–2015, the annual number and rate of diagnoses of HIV infection in the United States decreased. Numbers and rates of diagnoses of HIV infection increased in some subgroups and decreased in others. Variations in trends among groups are expected and may be due to differences in testing behaviors, targeted HIV testing initiatives, or changes in the numbers of HIV infections (incidence) in some subgroups.
