Supplementary notes

From the source:

"Data on diagnoses of HIV infection should be interpreted with caution. Data may not be representative of all persons with HIV because not all infected persons have been tested. Also, many states offer anonymous testing; the results of anonymous tests are not reported to the confidential name-based HIV registries of state and local health departments. The data presented in the AtlasPlus provide minimum number of persons for whom HIV infection has been diagnosed and reported to the National HIV Surveillance System. In addition, because surveillance practices differ, the reporting and the updating of a person’s clinical and vital status differ among states. The completeness of reporting of HIV diagnoses is estimated at more than 85%. HIV diagnoses refer to the number of HIV infections confirmed by laboratory or clinical evidence in 2022. Diagnoses of HIV infection are the numbers of persons aged ≥13 years with HIV diagnosed during the specified years. Diagnoses data are considered preliminary until 12-months after the diagnosis year to account for delays in reporting of case information and laboratory results."
