HIV incidence

DefinitionThe HIV incidence rate is the percentage of people who are uninfected at the beginning of the period who will become infected over the twelve months.

It refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of HIV diagnosed each year.
(The term 'prevalence' refers to the estimated population of people who have HIV at any given time.)
