  • Diagnosis of HIV: The term refers to a person diagnosed with HIV, regardless of disease at diagnosis (HIV, AIDS, or unknown).
  • HIV infection, stage 3 (AIDS): The terms refers specifically to persons diagnosed with HIV whose infection was classified as AIDS during a given year or whose infection has ever been classified as AIDS (for prevalence and deaths).
  • Transmission category: The term for summarizing the multiple risk factors that a person may have had by selecting the one most likely to have resulted in HIV transmission.

  • HIV incidence: The estimated number of persons newly infected with HIV during a specified time period.
