What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to HIV. |
| Why this is important: HIV/AIDS is a significant cause of illness, disability, and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control, as of 2007, more than 576,000 Americans with AIDS have died since the start of the epidemic. Today, more people than ever before are living with HIV/AIDS, and are living longer because of better treatments. Also, more people become infected with HIV than die from the disease each year.
Today, there are approximately 1.1 million Americans living with HIV. Of those individuals, approximately 21% do not know they are infected. Men who have sex with men of all races, African Americans, and Hispanics/Latinos are disproportionately affected. The Healthy People 2020 national health target is to reduce the HIV infection death rate to 3.3 deaths per 100,000 population. |
