What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the HIV incidence rate in cases per 100,000 population. |
| Why this is important: As of 2006, an estimated 1,106,400 persons are living with HIV in the United States. Of those individuals, approximately 1 in 5 (21%) do not know they are infected. Men who have sex with men of all races, African Americans, and Hispanics/Latinos are disproportionately affected by HIV. More HIV infections occur among young people under age 30 than any other age group.
Today, more people than ever before are living with HIV/AIDS. People with HIV are living longer than in years past because of better treatments. Also, more people become infected with HIV than die from the disease each year. While the total number of people living with HIV in the US is increasing, the number of annual new HIV infections has remained stable in recent years. In the United States, HIV/AIDS remains a significant cause of illness, disability, and death. |
| Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from all 67 Florida counties. |
