Oregon HIV/STD County Data
Detailed information regarding how data is received and reported

Sexually Transmitted Disease Data** (Data through Q3-2008) HIV/AIDS Data** (All information is for Oregon)
HIV Testing and Counseling Data in Oregon
**Please note: Cases by age group, ethnicity, race and gender are not shown where there are less than 5 cases in a county or any subgroup populations of less than 50 persons. For these counties only total cases by year are tabulated.
Please note: These are provisional reports based on actual cases reported as of [date of extraction] without adjustment for reporting delay. Up to 15% of case are reported >6 months after the date of diagnosis.
Cases by year of report may vary substantially from cases by year of diagnosis for multiple reasons. Doctors and laboratories were not required to report cases of HIV (not AIDS) in Oregon until 2001. Therefore a substantial number of cases diagnosed between 1983 and 2000 were not reported until 2001 or later leading to a large increase in reported cases after 2001. When counted by year of first diagnosis, these cases would be counted in earlier years (see p. 4 of 6 State of Oregon HIV/AIDS Summary. In addition, reporting delays often lead to reporting of a case in a different year than diagnosed. |
