Data reported as of March 2022.
Data reported here for New York City are based on the NYS HIV Surveillance System. There may be slight differences between these numbers and the data reported by the NYC DOHMH HIV Surveillance Registry.
Statewide and Rest of State counts include persons who were incarcerated. Ryan White Region and county level counts exclude persons who were incarcerated.
Race/ethnicity data for Native American persons is not shown on this page due to very low numbers (e.g. in 2020 there was 1 Native American person with newly diagnosed AIDS in NYS).
Starting with analyses of 2020 data, NYS implemented a new race/ethnicity classification methodology. This change reduces misclassification, with notable decreases in the percentage of individuals classified as Multi-Race or Hispanic, and increases in percentages of other categories. In 2021, an additional revision of the race/ethnicity classification methodology was introduced in accordance with an OMB directive separating the “Asian and Pacific Islander” category into two distinct categories, now called “Asian” and “Native Hawaiian / Pacific Islander.”

New AIDS diagnoses: Individuals with diagnosis date (first documentation of AIDS) in selected time period. The CDC defines AIDS as stage 3 HIV, determined by a CD4+ T-lymphocyte count of <200 cells/µL or percentage of total lymphocytes of <14%.
