Table 4. Number of HIV (non-AIDS) Cases, AIDS Cases, and AIDS Deaths* Minnesota, 1990-2001
	1990	1991	1992	1993	1994	1995	1996	1997	1998	1999	2000	2001

AIDS deaths	165	193	189	206	273	251	183	77	67	66	69	51

* 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. AIDS deaths = Number of deaths known to have occurred among AIDS cases in a given calendar year, regardless of cause.

Please Note: These numbers refer to events, not individuals. For example, a person diagnosed as an HIV (non-AIDS) case in 1992 and then diagnosed as an AIDS case in 2000 will be counted twice in Table 4, once for each event. Thus, the numbers of HIV (non-AIDS) and AIDS cases cannot be summed over years to obtain cumulative totals. Please refer to the Minnesota HIV Surveillance Report, 2001 slide set for cumulative totals.

Case numbers exclude federal and private prisoners and refugees in the HIV-Positive Refugee Resettlement Program.
