2. This slide presents the distribution of diagnoses of HIV infection among adult and adolescent males diagnosed from 2005 through 2008, by transmission category, for 37 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2005
The estimated number of diagnoses of HIV infection among adult and adolescent males exposed through male-to-male sexual contact increased 17% from 19,449 in 2005 to 22,810 in The number of diagnoses of HIV infection among adult and adolescent males exposed through heterosexual contact increased by 9% (from 4,300 in 2005 to 4,677 in 2008) during this time. The number of diagnoses among adult and adolescent males exposed through injection drug use decreased by 19% (from 3,503 in 2005 to 2,825 in 2008), and among males exposed through male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use, diagnoses decreased by 20% (from 1,468 in 2005 to 1,173 in 2008).
The remaining diagnoses of HIV infection were those attributed to hemophilia or the receipt of blood or blood products, and those in persons without an identified risk-factor.
The following 37 states have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2005: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The 5 U.S. dependent areas include American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information, but not for incomplete reporting.
Heterosexual contact is with a person known to have or to be at high risk for HIV infection.

3. In 2008, an estimated 72% (22,810) of all diagnosed HIV infections among adult and adolescent males were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact. Heterosexual contact was the second largest transmission category among males, at nearly 15% of diagnosed HIV infections.

4. The racial/ethnic distribution of diagnoses of HIV infection among adult and adolescent men who have sex with men (MSM) has changed over time in the 37 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January From 2005 to 2008, the estimated percentage of diagnoses of HIV infection in white MSM decreased from 41% to 37% of all MSM diagnosed, while the percentage of diagnoses of HIV infection in black/African American MSM increased from 36% to 40%. The percentage of diagnoses of HIV infection in black/African American MSM exceeded the number of diagnoses of HIV infection in white MSM for the first time in 2008.
The percentage of Hispanic/Latino MSM diagnosed with HIV infection remained stable during this time.
The percentages of diagnoses of HIV infection in American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander MSM, as well as MSM reporting multiple races are small, but have remained stable from

8. From , an estimated total of 161,795 adults and adolescents were diagnosed with HIV infection in the 37 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January Most (74%) diagnoses of HIV infection in adults and adolescents were in males. Among males diagnosed with HIV infection from , 70% were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact. The percentage of diagnosed HIV infections attributed to male-to-male sexual contact was even larger (85%) among males aged 13 to 24 years.
During 2008, male-to-male sexual contact was the most frequently reported transmission category—accounting for 54% of all diagnoses of HIV infection that year.

Although the racial/ethnic trends of diagnoses of HIV infection among MSM of all ages changed from , the racial/ethnic group most affected each year during this time period among young MSM (aged 13-24) were blacks/African Americans, followed by whites, Hispanics/Latinos, persons of multiple races, Asians, American Indians/Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders. Young black/African American MSM also experienced the largest increase in numbers of diagnoses of HIV infection of all racial/ethnic groups—from 1,841 diagnoses in 2005 to 3,188 diagnoses in 2008.

Approximately 48% of MSM living with a diagnosis of HIV infection were white, 33% were black/African American and 18% were Hispanic/Latino. Asians and persons reporting multiple races each accounted for approximately 1% of MSM living with a diagnosis of HIV infection.

13. The bars in this graph represent the estimated number of AIDS diagnoses by year in the United States and dependent areas during 1985–2008 among adult and adolescent men who have sex with men (MSM). The number of AIDS diagnoses among MSM peaked in 1992 and steadily decreased until AIDS diagnoses among MSM have remained relatively stable since that time.
The line in this graph represents the percentage of all diagnosed AIDS cases among adults and adolescents that were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact. In 1985, MSM accounted for 65% of cases, but by 1998, MSM accounted for 40% of cases. In 2008, MSM accounted for 47% of all AIDS diagnoses among adults and adolescents.
All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information, but not for incomplete reporting.
Data exclude men who reported sexual contact with other men and injection drug use.

14. The upper line represents the estimated number of AIDS diagnoses in the United States and dependent areas during 1985–2007 among adult and adolescent men who have sex with men (MSM). The lower line represents the estimated number of deaths among the same group during the same period.
The peak in new AIDS diagnoses among MSM during 1992–1993 was associated with the expansion of the AIDS surveillance case definition, which was implemented in January 1993.
Among MSM, the overall decline in new AIDS diagnoses and deaths is due in part to the success of highly active antiretroviral therapy, which became widely available during the mid-1990s.
All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information, but not for incomplete reporting.
Data exclude men who reported sexual contact with other men and injection drug use.

15. This graph shows the racial/ethnic trends in estimated AIDS diagnoses in the United States and dependent areas diagnosed during 1985–2008 among adult and adolescent men who have sex with men (MSM). Rates by race and ethnicity, important for understanding the impact of the epidemic on racial/ethnic groups, are not presented due to the difficulty in obtaining the total number of MSM in each race/ethnicity category.
Noteworthy is the decline from 1992 through 2001 in AIDS diagnoses among white MSM. Despite this decline, the largest number of AIDS diagnoses each year was among white MSM.
The second largest number of AIDS diagnoses among MSM was in blacks/African Americans, followed by Hispanics/Latinos. Although there were lower numbers of AIDS diagnoses in blacks/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, persons reporting multiple races, American Indians/Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders than among whites, the rates of AIDS diagnoses in the general population of males were higher for these races/ethnicities, so it is likely that the rates would be higher for MSM of these races/ethnicities.

Of these, approximately 39% of AIDS diagnoses were in white MSM, 35% were in black/African American MSM, and 22% were in Hispanic/Latino MSM. Asians accounted for 2% of AIDS diagnoses and persons reporting multiple races accounted for 1% of AIDS diagnoses among MSM in American Indians/Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders accounted for less than 1% of AIDS diagnoses each.
