Persons living with HIV/AIDS

Living HIV/AIDS cases by gender, race/ethnicity, current age group, and transmission category in California, 2011-2017. Table includes all persons living with HIV/AIDS whose last known residence in the given year is in California (regardless of state of diagnosis) who were living as of December 31 of the given year. Current age group is calculated as of the end of the given year. In all tables, cases are reported as of December 31 of the given year, as reported by January 9, 2019, to allow a minimum of 12 months reporting delay. Gender is determined by both current gender and sex at birth variables; transgender values are assigned when current gender is identified as "Transgender" or when a discrepancy is identified between a person's sex at birth and their current gender (e.g., cases where sex at birth is "Male" and current gender is "Female" will become Transgender: Male to Female.) Prior to 2003, Asian and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders were classified as one combined group. In order to present these race/ethnicities separately, living cases recorded under this combined classification were split and redistributed according to their expected proportional population representation estimated from post-2003 data.
