This number reflects the number of AIDS cases reported this month to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. As of December1996, AIDS
cases in North Carolina are attributed to year of report. The cumulative number for AIDS cases is 2,229 in Mecklenburg County and 15,804 in North Carolina as of
March, 2006. The cumulative number of AIDS cases reported to the CDC is 988,376 in the United States as of December 2005. AIDS case reporting began in 1981
in the United States and in North Carolina in 1984.
The cumulative number for HIV Infection (not AIDS) is 5,205 in Mecklenburg County and 29,779 in North Carolina. This figure is based on reports of confidential
testing done between December1990 – March, 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 December1990 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.
