This may include individuals that meet the CDC surveillance definition for Stage-3 (AIDS) at the time of their initial diagnosis of HIV (i.e., concurrent diagnosis). The number of new HIV diagnoses only reflects HIV infections of persons that reside in New Mexico during the in the year of interest. Individuals moving to New Mexico that have been diagnosed and reported in another state or country are excluded. Age-group assignment is based on the persons age at the time of diagnosis.

How the Measure is Calculated
| Numerator: | Incidences of newly identified HIV-1 cases. |
| Denominator: | New Mexico population, according to US census estimates for the year of diagnosis. NMDOH health region population (i.e., inclusive counties population), according to University of New Mexico, Geospatial and Population Studies Program estimates. |
Data Issues
All population estimates apply to July 1 of the selected year. These estimates are considered the most accurate estimates for the state of New Mexico and should match those found on the University of New Mexico Geospatial and Population Studies website. Estimates include decimal fractions. Census tract population estimates were summed to produce County and Small Area population estimates. Population estimate totals may vary due to rounding. Population estimates for previous years are occasionally revised as new information becomes available. When publishing trend data, always be sure that your rates for earlier years match current rates on NM-IBIS that have been calculated with the most up-to-date population estimates.Health Topic Pages Related to: HIV-1 Infections (Newly Diagnosed, All Stages) in Individuals aged 13 and above, New Mexico
