Notas do Editor
As of December 2003, 5,208 adolescents (persons aged 13-19 years) have been reported with AIDS. In earlier years, most reported cases were in adolescent males; over time, the male-to-female ratio has decreased. In 2003, 472 adolescents were reported with AIDS; of these, 256 (54%) were male and 216 (46%) were female.
Speaker again illustrates the rise of AIDS in just one year.
From 1985 through 2004, 5,593 adolescents (persons aged 13-19 years) were reported with AIDS. In earlier years, most reported cases were in adolescent males; over time, the male-to-female ratio has decreased. In 2004, 418 adolescents were reported with AIDS; of these, 238 (57%) were male and 180 (43%) were female.
As of December 2003, a total of 31,646 young adults aged 20 to 24 years were reported with AIDS; most were male. In 1985, 89% of cases reported in young adults 20 to 24 years old were in males. However, as heterosexual contact has accounted for an increasing proportion of HIV infections, particularly in females, the proportion of AIDS cases reported in females has increased. In 2003, 36% of the 1,710 cases reported were in females.
Speaker again illustrates the rise in AIDS cases for the following year.
From 1985 through 2004, a total of 32,757 young adults aged 20 to 24 years were reported with AIDS; most were male. In 1985, 89% of cases reported in young adults 20 to 24 years old were in males. However, as heterosexual contact has accounted for an increasing proportion of HIV infections, particularly in females, the proportion of AIDS cases reported in females has increased. In 2004, 33% of the 1,807 cases reported were in females.
Cumulative through December 2003, a total of 221,065 persons with HIV infection (not AIDS) had been reported from the 41 areas with confidential name-based HIV infection surveillance; 67% of these persons were aged 25-44 years at the time of diagnosis.
In 2003, 41 areas (including 35 states, US dependencies, possessions, and associated nations) conducted HIV case surveillance and reported cases of HIV infection in adults, adolescents, and children to CDC. Connecticut reported only pediatric HIV cases.
Through 2003, a total of 902,223 persons with AIDS were reported. Persons between the ages of 25-44 years accounted for 73% of all reported cases.
CDC estimates that 68% of the 10,955 AIDS cases diagnosed among female adults and adolescents in 2002 can be attributed to heterosexual transmission: 15% of these cases are from heterosexual contact with an injection drug user and 53% from sexual contact with high-risk partners such as bisexual men or HIV-infected men with unspecified risks.
Of the cases in female adults and adolescents, 29% were attributed to injection drug use and 3% to other or unidentified risks.
Data for this slide were statistically adjusted for reporting delays and redistribution of cases initially reported without risk.
In 2003, of HIV/AIDS cases diagnosed among male adults and adolescents in 33 areas with confidential name-based HIV infection surveillance, 63% were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact and 14% were attributed to injection drug use. Approximately 17% of cases were attributed to heterosexual contact and 5% attributed to male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use.
Most (79%) of the HIV/AIDS cases diagnosed among female adults and adolescents were attributed to heterosexual contact, and 19% were attributed to injection drug use.
The following 33 areas have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least 1999: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and the US Virgin Islands.
The data have been adjusted for reporting delays and estimated proportional redistribution of cases in persons initially reported without an identified risk factor.
