NOTES:
1. These data are subject to delays in reporting; annual adjusted data are presented in HIV/AIDS Epidemiology Reports at www.metrokc.gov/health/apu/epi/epireports.htm. AIDS case numbers are very complete despite delays in reporting, but the HIV case numbers are incomplete for two reasons. HIV diagnosed prior to implementing HIV infection reporting in Washington in September 1999 are incomplete. In addition, many persons with HIV infection have not yet been diagnosed. Of the estimated 7,200-7,800 King County residents living with HIV infection or AIDS, 6,329 are described above, some are not yet reported to Public Health, and some have not yet been diagnosed.
2. Residence at the time of diagnosis with AIDS (for AIDS cases) or HIV (for HIV cases).
3. These are the most recent U.S. available data. U.S. "HIV NOT AIDS" data are for the 42 states and areas with confidential named-based HIV infection reporting. HIV deaths were imputed from CDC data tables.
