This number reflects the number of AIDS cases reported this month to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. As of March 1996, AIDS cases
in North Carolina are attributed to year of report. The cumulative number for AIDS cases is 1,979 in Mecklenburg County and 14,384 in North Carolina as of
December 31, 2004. The cumulative number of AIDS cases reported to the CDC is 929,985 in the United States as of December 31, 2003. 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 4,782 in Mecklenburg County and 27,454 in North Carolina. This figure is based on reports of confidential
testing done between March 1990 – December 31, 2004. 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 March 1990 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.
