The cumulative number of estimated AIDS cases in the U.S. is estimated to be 1.8 million. Over 1.1 million people are estimated to be currently living with HIV in the U.S. About 50,000 people are infected with HIV in the U.S. each year, a number which has remained fairly steady over the last decade.
The minimum number of HIV-infected persons in the United States given by the total of persons reported living with AIDS and living with HIV to CDC through December 2001 was 506,154. It is likely that there are at least another 200,000 or so additional persons with HIV infection not captured by the reporting system.
