BACKGROUND: Routine surveillance data do not directly provide total HIV prevalence for the United States (U.S.), but can be used to estimate of the number of persons living with HIV/AIDS, both diagnosed and undiagnosed. Previous estimates stated 850,000-950,000 persons were living with HIV at the end of 2000, approximately 25% of whom did not know they were infected. These estimates, based on a variety of data sources, used projections that assumed a constant number of new HIV infections and AIDS deaths annually since 1998. Newer back-calculation methods take advantage of increasing availability of information on HIV detection before progression to AIDS. We present here the estimated number of persons living with HIV infection in the U.S. at the end of 2003, and the proportion which were undiagnosed, using two estimation methods.
