Description:"This report includes data from case reports from 56 areas (all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) that had laws or regulations requiring confidential reporting by name for adults, adolescents, and children with confirmed diagnoses of HIV infection (including AIDS) as of December 31, 2008. After the removal of personal identifying information, data from these reports were submitted to CDC. The implementation of HIV infection reporting has differed from state to state. Before 1991, the surveillance of HIV infection was not standardized, and reporting was based primarily on passive surveillance. The information on many of the cases reported before 1991 is not complete. Since then, CDC has assisted states in conducting active surveillance of HIV infection by the use of standardized report forms and software." - p. 12
