The cumulative number for HIV Disease (not AIDS) is 5,499 in Mecklenburg County and 31,282 in North Carolina. This figure is based on reports of confidential
testing done between March1990 – December 2006. Please note a change reflecting recent changes in North Carolina reporting, “HIV Disease” refers to all people
infected with human immunodeficiency virus, with and without an AIDS defining condition. Previously data were reported separately for HIV and AIDS. Currently
AIDS cases are subset of HIV disease. AIDS case reporting began in the United States in 1981 and North Carolina in 1984. HIV infection reporting begin in North
Carolina in March1990 and HIV disease reporting in 2001. While all states report AIDS, all states do not report HIV infection or HIV Disease. As a consequence,
national numbers for HIV disease are not available. The cumulative number for AIDS in the United States is 988,376 as of 2005.
