HIV & AIDS Cases in Alameda County

Presentation to the CCPCAugust 24, 2011

Elaine Bautista & Alex Marr

What is Epidemiology?

The study of the distributions (who, where and when) and determinants (what and why) of morbidity (sickness) and mortality (death) among human populations

AIDS Epidemiology Terminology

Proportion = Percent of cases

Incidence = new cases in time period

Prevalence = existing cases in time period

Cumulative = all cases ever reported regardless if alive or deceased

Rate

The occurrence of an event (disease), accounting for the size of the population

Infers a measure of time Allows for comparisons of populations The number of cases occurring during a

specific time period divided by the population during that time period

Usually expressed per 1,000 or 100,000

Rate (Cont.)

Case Rate

Example: the rate in Alameda County for 2000 is:

and the rate among African Americans in 2000 is:

* 100,000 Number of casesTotal Population = Rate

225___ 1,443,741

x 100,000 = 15.6

x 100,000 = 60.2 _127___ 211,124

When stratified by race and sex, some HIV diagnostic values are too low to ascertain a case rate. We present the full race breakdown by percentage of new HIV diagnoses. However, we focused on the following three races with high enough counts for the 2006-2010 trend: Latino African American White

As HIV surveillance by name was implemented in 2006, HIV diagnostic data before 2006 may not be comparable.

For the purposes of this presentation, cases (including transgender cases) are categorized by the Sex at birth.

Conclusions

The number of diagnosed HIV cases surpassed the number of AIDS cases in 2010.

HIV/AIDS cases are predominantly among Males. Females comprise 15-20% of diagnosed cases.

African Americans comprise the majority of HIV/AIDS cases, followed by Whites and Latinos.

HIV/AIDS is diagnosed predominantly among individuals aged 20-49. A slight increase in older adults age 50 years and above has been seen in recent years.

New way of looking at Persons Living with HIV/AIDS to include new residents who were diagnosed elsewhere.

New ways of looking at late testers. The use of the data will depend on the completeness of the surveillance data and the message being conveyed.
