Measure Information
DSHS suppresses data when the population denominator is less than 50, the denominator is less than twice the number of cases, or there are fewer than 5 total cases. This rule only applies to visually discernible populations, such as racial, age, or sex groups. For more information on data suppression, please see the HIV/STD Program's Data Release Policy.
Rates - Population denominators used to calculate rates of new diagnoses are provided by the US Census Bureau, Population Estimates and Projections Program, and are current as of July 1, 2024.
