  1. This map displays the number of estimated AIDS cases and rates among adults and adolescents (age 13 years and older) by region of the United States and the District of Columbia for 2006. For 2006, the estimated rate of AIDS among adults and adolescents in the 50 states including the District of Columbia was 14.9 per 100,000 population. The Northeast had the highest AIDS rate, followed by the South, the West and finally the Midwest. The highest estimated number of AIDS cases was in the South, followed by the Northeast, West, and Midwest. In order to include all states in the analysis by region, the analysis was limited to AIDS data because not all states had name-based HIV infection reporting in 2006. The data have been adjusted for reporting delays. The Census Bureau divides the United States into four regions: Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont South: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming
  2. The South had the highest percentage of estimated AIDS cases diagnosed in 2006, followed by the Northeast, West, and Midwest. The data have been adjusted for reporting delays. The Census Bureau divides the United States into four regions: Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont South: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming
  3. The estimated numbers of adults and adolescents given a diagnosis of AIDS from 1996 through 2006 is displayed by region. Beginning with 1996, the highest estimated number of persons with a diagnosis of AIDS was in the South, followed by the Northeast, West, and Midwest. After a period of decline from 1996 through 2000, the estimated number of persons with a diagnosis of AIDS stabilized in all regions through 2006. The data have been adjusted for reporting delays. The Census Bureau divides the United States into four regions: Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont South: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming
  4. The estimated numbers of adults and adolescents living with AIDS increased steadily in each region of the United States from 1996 through 2006. Each year the highest estimated number of persons living with AIDS was in the South, followed by the Northeast, the West, and the Midwest. The South also had the highest increase in the estimated number of persons living with AIDS, from 79,688 in 1996 to 177,591 in 2006. Much of this increase is due to a reduction in the number of deaths attributed to AIDS, which, in turn, is a result of the success of HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy), which became widely available during the mid-1990s. The data have been adjusted for reporting delays. The Census Bureau divides the United States into four regions: Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont South: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming
  5. This table displays the estimated AIDS rates in 2006 among adults and adolescents, by region of the United States, including DC, and the population of the area where persons resided at the time of their AIDS diagnosis. In each region, the highest estimated rates were in the large metropolitan areas (populations of 500,000 or more). The highest estimated AIDS rate was in the Northeast, followed closely by the South. However, in large metropolitan areas (populations of 500,000 or more) and nonmetropolitan areas (populations of fewer than 50,000), the highest estimated rates were in the South. The estimated AIDS rate among adults and adolescents in the Northeast was almost twice the estimated rate in the West, and the estimated rate in the South was more than twice the estimated rate in the Midwest. The data have been adjusted for reporting delays. The Census Bureau divides the United States into four regions: Northeast: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont South: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia Midwest: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin West: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming
  6. In the Northeast the number of adults and adolescents given a diagnosis of AIDS in 2006 was estimated at 9,483. Most (54%) of the persons given a diagnosis resided in New York State, where the rate of AIDS diagnoses was highest. Estimated AIDS rates in New York and Pennsylvania were higher than the national rate. The data have been adjusted for reporting delays.
  7. In the Northeast more males than females were given a diagnosis of AIDS in 2006: 2.2 males for every female. Of males in this region who were given a diagnosis of AIDS during 2006, most were blacks, followed by whites, Hispanics, Asians/Pacific Islanders, and American Indians/Alaska Natives. Of females in this region who were given a diagnosis of AIDS during 2006, most were blacks, followed by Hispanics, whites, Asians/Pacific Islanders, and American Indians/Alaska Natives. The data have been adjusted for reporting delays. The states in the Northeast are Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
  8. In 2006, almost half (49%) of the estimated AIDS cases diagnosed among males in the Northeast were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact. Approximately two-thirds (66%) of the estimated AIDS cases diagnosed among females were attributed to high-risk heterosexual contact. The data have been adjusted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information. The states in the Northeast are Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
