Figures subject to change, diseases bold, Italic and an asterisk* are reported immediately, bold & Italic within 24 hours and 7 days for all others diseases.
This number reflects the number of AIDS cases reported this month to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. As of September 1996, AIDS
cases in North Carolina are attributed to year of report. The cumulative number for AIDS cases is 1,856 in Mecklenburg County and 13,607 in North Carolina as of
June 30, 2004. The cumulative number of AIDS cases reported to the CDC is 886,575 as of December 31, 2002. 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 4,604 in Mecklenburg County and 26,745 in North Carolina. This figure is based on reports of confidential
testing done between September 1990 – June 30, 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 September 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.
