In 2017, 2% (77) of new diagnoses were among transgender people. Of those, 94% (72) are transgender women and 6% (5) are transgender men

In 2017, 1,848 of people living with diagnosed HIV infection were transgender. Of those, 1,790 are transgender women, 53 were transgender men, and 5 were other gender identities

Persons who had at least one CD4, viral load, or HIV-1 genotype test during the calendar year were considered engaged in care
Persons who had two or more CD4, viral load, or HIV-1 genotype tests that were performed at least 3 months apart during the calendar year were considered retained in care
Persons whose most recent HIV viral load test result during the calendar year ≤ 200 copies/ml were considered virally suppressed
