Notes

  1. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2006), 441,380 men in the United States carried an AIDS diagnosis from the beginning of the epidemic through 2004 as a result of homosexual sexual contact; an additional 64,833 men carried an AIDS diagnosis as a result of homosexual sexual contact and injection drug use. Of the 934,861 diagnosed cases of AIDS, these two subgroups constitute 54.1% of affected individuals. The next highest risk group consists of injection drug users (26.6%), followed by those infected by “heterosexual contact” (17.0%).
