In the 34 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting, the diagnosis rate of HIV/AIDS among adults and adolescents was 25.9 per 100,000 population in 2007. The rate for adults and adolescents diagnosed with HIV/AIDS ranged from zero per 100,000 in American Samoa and North Mariana Island to 52.5 per 100,000 in Florida. The following 34 states have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection surveillance since at least 2003: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The data have been adjusted for reporting delays.
The estimated number of adults and adolescents living with AIDS in each region of the 50 states and the District of Columbia increased from 1993 through 2006. This increase is due primarily to the widespread use of highly active antiretroviral therapy, introduced in 1996, which has delayed the progression of AIDS to death. At the end of 2006, an estimated 177,075 (41%) of adults and adolescents living with AIDS resided in the South, 125,294 (29%) in the Northeast, 86,339 (20%) in the West, 46,871 (11%) in the Midwest. The data have been adjusted for reporting delays. Regions of residence are defined as follows: Northeast—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont Midwest—Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin South—Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia West—Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming
