The AIDS case definition is provided by the CDC. The data are based on the CDC Adult HIV/AIDS Confidential Case Report, Form 50.42A, Rev. 3/2007.
Survival analysis (the estimated proportion of persons surviving longer than a given length of time after diagnosis) is the conventional method of measuring the rate of progression of disease. Data on survival for longer than three years after AIDS diagnosis reflects the recent experience of persons diagnosed with AIDS. This proportion is an indicator of access and adherence to quality care for advanced HIV infection.
