HIV incidence among teens and adults by ethnicity U.S. 1981-2019

In 1982, the estimated number of new HIV cases per year (incidence) was highest among white people. By 2019, HIV incidence was highest among Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino persons. This statistic illustrates the estimated HIV incidence among persons aged 13 years and over in the United States in 1981, 1984-1985, and 2019, by race and ethnicity.

Supplementary notes

"HIV incidence estimates for 1981–2006 were derived from the extended BCA applied to HIV surveillance data reported to CDC through June 2007. HIV incidence in 2007 was estimated using the SEA applied to HIV surveillance data reported to CDC through June 2011. HIV incidence estimates during 2008–2019 were derived from the CD4 model applied to HIV surveillance data reported to CDC through December 2020. Abbreviations: BCA = back-calculation approach; CD4 = CD4+ T-lymphocyte model; SEA = stratified extrapolation approach."
