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 1,782 in Mecklenburg County and 13,270 in North Carolina as of December 31, 2003. 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 4,448 in Mecklenburg County and 25,870 in North Carolina. This figure is
based on reports of confidential testing done between March 1990 – December 31, 2003. 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.
