(I) HIV Infection = New cases of HIV infection (both HIV (non-AIDS) and AIDS at first diagnosis) diagnosed within a given calendar year. HIV (non-AIDS) = New cases of HIV infection (excluding AIDS at first diagnosis) diagnosed within a given calendar year. AIDS = All new cases of AIDS diagnosed within a given calendar year. (return to table)
(II) The cumulative rate is calculated by dividing the cumulative number of cases by the estimated state population and multiplying by 100,000. Rates for individual calendar years were calculated using 2000 U.S. Census population data (2000-2003) and 1993-1999 population estimates were calculated using interpolation between U.S. Census 1990 data and U.S. Census 2000 data. (return to table)
(III) Numbers and rates exclude federal and private prisoners and refugees in the HIV-Positive Refugee Resettlement Program. (return to table)
(IV) Numbers and rates include refugees in the HIV-Positive Refugee Resettlement Program diagnosed with AIDS one or more years subsequent to their arrival in the U.S. (return to table)
(V) In 2004, MDH participated in the Interstate De-Duplication Project administered by CDC and aimed at eliminating duplicate reporting of HIV and AIDS cases. For further detail on the impact of this project on Minnesota numbers please see the HIV Surveillance Technical Notes. (return to table)
Please Note: The sum of HIV (non-AIDS) cases and AIDS cases will be greater than the number of cases of HIV Infection in a given year. The difference occurs because, unlike the HIV Infection category, the AIDS category includes both cases that are AIDS at first diagnosis as well as those cases that progress from HIV (non-AIDS) to AIDS during the year (see above definitions).

Suburban = Seven-county metropolitan area except Minneapolis & St. Paul (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin (except Minneapolis), Ramsey (except St. Paul), Scott, and Washington counties). Greater Minnesota = Remaining 80 counties outside of the seven-county metropolitan area.
Numbers and rates exclude federal and private prisoners and refugees in the HIV-Positive Refugee Resettlement Program. State prisoners are included (two new diagnoses in 2004).
Rates calculated using U.S. Census 2000 data. Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding

(1) HIV infection includes all new cases of HIV infection (both HIV (non-AIDS) and AIDS at first diagnosis) among Minnesota residents in 2004.
(2) African-born Blacks are reported separately from other Blacks (born in the U.S. or elsewhere). Other includes multi-racial persons and persons with unknown race.
(3) Rates calculated using U.S. Census 2000 data. Accurate population estimates for Black, African-born persons living in Minnesota are unavailable – anecdotal (50,000) and 2000 U.S. Census data (35,188) ) were used to create the range of rates reported for African-born persons. The population estimate for Black, African-American persons (167,784) was calculated by subtracting the U.S. Census estimate for African-born persons (35,188) from the total Black population (202,972). Note that this assumes that all African-born persons are Black (as opposed to another race).
(4) U.S. Census 2000 data necessary to calculate race-specific rates (specifically a breakdown of the state population by "Race alone or in Combination with one or more races" by gender) have not yet been released for Minnesota. When these data become available this table will be updated.
Numbers exclude federal and private prisoners and refugees in the HIV-Positive Refugee Resettlement Program.
MSM = Men who have sex with men. IDU = Injecting drug use. Heterosexual = For males: heterosexual contact with a female known to be HIV+, an injecting drug user, or a hemophiliac/blood product or organ transplant recipient. For females: heterosexual contact with a male known to be HIV+, bisexual, an injecting drug user, or a hemophiliac/blood product or organ transplant recipient. Perinatal = Mother to child HIV transmission; birth may have occurred in a previous year. Unspecified = Cases who did not acknowledge any of the risks listed above. No Interview = Cases who refused to be, could not be or have not yet been interviewed.
