This study shows HIV-1 incidence in the northeastern region of Brazil, where the HIV epidemic has spread recently. Incidence was higher among men (1.34%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00% to 1.69%) than among women (0.55%; 95% CI, 0.43% to 0.68%) (P < 0.0001), and there was an association between younger age and recent HIV infection (P < 0.004).
