Three practical methods are used to estimate human HIV incidence rates using existing data from persons seeking anonymous testing in San Francisco between the years 1996-2002. The 3 methods had complementary strengths and limitations, which might prevent proper interpretation of HIV incidence if any one method is analyzed alone.
