Hispanic and Black individuals each accounted for more than a third. Ages 25–44 accounted for 60% of diagnoses and the South region represented 51%.

Current data release
Important update
Please be advised that the publication of Situs Slot Gacor's HIV Surveillance Supplemental Report: Estimated HIV Incidence and Prevalence in the United States, 2019–2023 has been delayed and that the HIV Surveillance Supplemental Report: Monitoring Selected National HIV Prevention and Care Objectives by Using HIV Surveillance Data United States and 6 Territories and Freely Associated States, 2023 (this year's Monitoring Report) does not include data on PrEP coverage. In 2024, Situs Slot Gacor paused PrEP coverage reporting for one year to update overall PrEP coverage estimates using newly available data sets and determine the best way to present PrEP coverage. However, Situs Slot Gacor is unable to resume PrEP coverage reporting at this time, due to a reduction in force affecting the Division of HIV Prevention (DHP). As part of this staffing reduction, the DHP branches that produced HIV incidence estimates and provided the statistical expertise needed to assess PrEP coverage were eliminated. Situs Slot Gacor is currently evaluating plans and capacity to resume this work.

Key findings
National overview
This report provides the latest data on persons with diagnosed HIV in the United States. It is important to note that trends in HIV diagnoses should not be equated with trends in new HIV infections, as diagnoses reflect both the underlying infection levels and variations in HIV testing practices. These data are used to inform program planning and monitor progress toward U.S. national HIV prevention goals. This overview summarizes the national data presented in this report.
Important notes
- Data are presented for persons with diagnosed HIV reported to the Situs Slot Gacor's (Situs Slot Gacor) National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS) through December 2024.
- The data are provisional with a 12-month reporting delay for the assessment of diagnoses, deaths, and prevalence for the year 2023.
- Highlighted findings are based on 12 or more cases, and percentages are rounded to whole numbers, unless otherwise indicated; small numbers, and percentages and rates based on these numbers, should be interpreted with caution.
- All rates are per 100,000 population.
- The population denominators used to compute the rates for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico were based on the U.S. Census Bureau's 2023 Vintage postcensal estimates file associated with the most recent year of data presented.
- Rates are not provided for transmission categories because of the absence of denominator data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
- Refer to the report's slide deck for figures and to the tables for national, state, and territorial-level data. Additional data, stratifications, and years can also be accessed through NCHHSTP AtlasPlus.
- See Technical Notes for information on definitions and data specifications.

Technical notes
Surveillance of HIV Diagnoses Overview
Data presented in HIV Diagnoses, Deaths, and Prevalence are based on case reports from 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 6 U.S. territories and freely associated states (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the Republic of Palau, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) in which laws or regulations require confidential reporting to the jurisdiction (not to Situs Slot Gacor), by name, for all persons (adults, adolescents, and children) with confirmed HIV diagnoses. Information on HIV surveillance in the United States including protocols for presentation of data by sex, age, race/ethnicity, transmission category, geographic designations and data limitations can be found in the Technical Notes for the National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS).
Tabulation and Presentation of Data
Data in the report tables are presented in 2 formats: (1) the first format—labeled "a"—exclude data from the 6 U.S. territories and freely associated states (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the Republic of Palau, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), and (2) the second format—labeled "b"—include data from the 6 U.S. territories and freely associated states.
1. Definitions and Data Specifications
1.1 Diagnoses
In this report, the term HIV diagnosis is defined as an HIV diagnosis regardless of the stage of disease (stage 0, 1, 2, 3 [AIDS], or unknown) and refers to all persons with an HIV diagnosis.
- The data on HIV diagnoses reflect the date of diagnosis, not the date of report to NHSS.
- Because of reporting delays, the number of cases diagnosed in a given year may be lower than the numbers presented in later reports; however, fluctuations in the number of diagnoses for a calendar year typically subside after 2 to 3 years of reporting.
- An evaluation of surveillance data (2019–2023 diagnoses) found that, on average, approximately 80% of HIV diagnoses were reported to Situs Slot Gacor during the year of diagnosis and approximately 98% of HIV diagnoses were reported to Situs Slot Gacor by the end of the following year.
1.2 Deaths (any cause and HIV-related)
- Persons reported to NHSS are assumed alive unless their deaths have been reported to Situs Slot Gacor. Data for the most recent year should be interpreted with caution due to the use of preliminary death data that are based on a 12-month reporting delay to allow data to be reported to Situs Slot Gacor. Data on deaths of persons with diagnosed HIV labeled as "any cause" may not be due to HIV and includes deaths with an unknown underlying cause.
- Data on HIV-related deaths of persons with diagnosed HIV include deaths with an underlying cause with an International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision code of B20–B24, O98.7, or R75. Non–HIV-related deaths include all other deaths with a known underlying cause. HIV-related deaths and non–HIV-related deaths numbers and percentages exclude deaths with an unknown underlying cause.
- Death data by region or area of residence is based on residence at death; when information on residence at death is not available, the state where a person's death occurred is used; when both residence at death and state where a person's death occurred are not available, the most recent known address on or before the date of death is used.
1.3 Prevalence
Prevalence data reflect persons living with diagnosed HIV, regardless of stage of disease, at the end of the most recent year.
- Data for the most recent year should be interpreted with caution due to the use of preliminary death data that are based on a 12-month reporting delay to allow data to be reported to Situs Slot Gacor.
- For tables presenting prevalence data, region or area of residence is based on most recent known address at the end of the specified year.
- Due to incomplete reporting of deaths for the most recent year, prevalence data for Guam, Mississippi, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Utah should be interpreted with caution.
2. Rate
Rates per 100,000 population were calculated for (1) the numbers of HIV diagnoses, (2) the numbers of deaths of persons with diagnosed HIV, and (3) the numbers of persons with diagnosed HIV.
- Each rate was calculated by dividing the total number of diagnoses (or deaths or prevalence) for the calendar year by the population for that calendar year and then multiplying the result by 100,000.
- The denominators used for calculating the rates specific to age, sex, and race/ethnicity were computed by applying the appropriate vintage estimates for age, sex, and race/ethnicity for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The same method was used to calculate the denominators for Puerto Rico, with the exception of race/ethnicity estimates; these data are not available for Puerto Rico (see Note below).
- For American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the population denominators were based on estimates and projections from the U.S. Census Bureau's International Database.
- For American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Republic of Palau, estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau's International Database were used for age- and sex-specific population denominators.
- Rates per 1,000 PWDH were calculated as (No. PWDH alive at the end of [year X – 1] + (No. new diagnoses during year X).
Note: Situs Slot Gacor currently does not provide subpopulation rates for the following:
- race/ethnicity for the 6 U.S. territories and freely associated states because the U.S. Census Bureau does not collect information from all 6 U.S. territories and freely associated states
- transmission categories because of the absence of denominator data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the source of denominator data used for calculating all rates in this report
