"HIV incidence estimates for 1981–2006 were derived from the extended BCA applied to HIV surveillance data reported to CDC through June 2007. HIV incidence in 2007 was estimated using the SEA applied to HIV surveillance data reported to CDC through June 2011. HIV incidence estimates during 2008–2019 were derived
from the CD4 model applied to HIV surveillance data reported to CDC through December 2020. Abbreviations: BCA = back-calculation approach; CD4 = CD4+ T-lymphocyte model; SEA = stratified extrapolation approach."
