1. HIV Surveillance by Race/Ethnicity
For all slides in this series, the following notes apply:
Estimated numbers and rates of diagnosed HIV infection and diagnosed infections classified as stage 3 (AIDS) are based on data from 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 6 U.S. dependent areas.
Rates are not calculated by race/ethnicity for the 6 U.S. dependent areas because the U.S. Census Bureau does not collect information from all U.S. dependent areas.

21. Stage 3 (AIDS) Classifications among Racial/Ethnic Minorities with Diagnosed HIV Infection, 1985–2014 United States and 6 Dependent Areas
The estimated number of stage 3 (AIDS) classifications among racial/ethnic minorities increased each year from 1985 through The peak in stage 3 (AIDS) in 1993 can be associated with the expansion of the HIV surveillance case definition implemented in January In 1996, the introduction and widespread use of antiretroviral therapies, which slow the progression of HIV infection to stage 3 (AIDS), resulted in declines in stage 3 (AIDS) classifications. However, the percentage of stage 3 (AIDS) classifications among minority races/ethnicities has continued to increase.
In 2014, there were an estimated 15,209 classifications of stage 3 (AIDS) among persons of minority races/ethnicities, accounting for 71% of total stage 3 (AIDS) classifications that year in the United States and 6 dependent areas.

22. Percentages of Stage 3 (AIDS) Classifications among Adults and Adolescents with Diagnosed HIV Infection, by Race/Ethnicity and Year of Diagnosis, 1985–2014 – United States and 6 Dependent Areas
The percentage distribution of stage 3 (AIDS) classifications among adults and adolescents with diagnosed HIV infection has changed by race/ethnicity since The percentage among adult and adolescent whites has decreased while the percentages among blacks/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos have increased. The percentages of HIV infections classified as stage 3 (AIDS) among Asians, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders, and persons of multiple races have remained stable.
The percentage of stage 3 (AIDS) classifications among adult and adolescent blacks/African Americans exceeded that of whites for the first time in 1994 and has done so since that time. In 2014, the percentages were 47% for blacks/African Americans, 25% for whites, 22% for Hispanics/Latinos, 4% for persons of multiple races, 2% for Asians, and less than 1% each for American Indians/Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders.
All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting.
The Asian category includes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases (cases that were diagnosed and reported under the pre-1997 Office of Management and Budget race/ethnicity classification system).
Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.

Survival was greatest among Asians. Survival was greater among Asians, whites, Hispanics/Latinos, and persons of multiple races than among blacks/African Americans. Results should be interpreted with caution for American Indians/Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders because the numbers of persons in these groups were small.

29. Adults and Adolescents Living with Diagnosed HIV Infection Ever Classified as Stage 3 (AIDS), by Race/Ethnicity, Year–end 2013—United States
At the end of 2013, an estimated 516,129 adults and adolescents in the United States were living with diagnosed HIV infection ever classified as stage 3 (AIDS). The overall rate of adults and adolescents living with stage 3 (AIDS) at the end of 2013 was per 100,000 population.
The rate (per 100,000 population) of blacks/African Americans living with stage 3 (AIDS) (680.0) was higher than that of all other races/ethnicities, and was more than 7 times as high as the rate for whites (93.7), approximately 2.5 times as high as the rate for Hispanics/Latinos (271.1), and 1.4 times as high as the rate for persons of multiple races (497.6). Relatively few adults and adolescents living with stage 3 (AIDS) were Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander; however, the rate of Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders (108.8) was higher than that of whites. The rates were 80.2 for American Indians/Alaska Natives and 43.5 for Asians.
