NR503: Population Health, Epidemiology, & Statistical Principles
July 15, 2018
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a disease that destroys the CD4 cells (T cells)
that fight off disease and infection. No cure has been developed for HIV. The disease can be
managed with the proper care and medication. In the U.S., people typically get HIV through
having unprotected anal or vaginal sex with a partner(s) or through using infected needles or
syringes. Untreated, HIV develops into acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Overview of concern
HIV is transmitted through direct contact with infected bodily fluids, such as blood,
semen, rectal and vaginal fluids, and breast milk (CDC: Fact Sheet…, 2017). The prevalence is
an estimated 1.2 million people have been diagnosed with HIV, but even worse is, one out of
eight people (15 percent of U.S. population) have HIV and do not even know it (Division of
HIV/AIDS Prevention et al., 2018). 2016 data compiled by the CDC reports the incidence rate
within that year was 39,782 new diagnosed HIV cases (CDC: Fact Sheet…, 2017). Specifically,
32,131 of the cases affected males 13 years and older, 7,529 adult and adolescent females, and
122 children under age 13 years (Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention et al., 2018)
Epidemiological analysis
The morbidity rate within the U.S. population is an estimated 38,513 new HIV infections
per year (CDC: National Center for Health Statistics, 2017). The mortality rate from 1987
through 2015 totals 507,351; in 2015, a reported 6,465 people died (CDC: HIV in the United
States…, 2018). Distribution of new infections differs by race, gender, and sexual orientation:
Caucasians 41percent, African Americans 40 percent, and Hispanics 19 percent; the female
distribution is African Americans 61 percent, Caucasians 23 percent, and Hispanics 16 percent
(CDC: HIV in the United States…, 2018). Gay/bisexual men account for 67 percent of all newly
acquired HIV cases and 83 percent among males. African-Americans account for 44 percent and
Hispanics account for 25 percent of all HIV diagnoses (CDC: HIV in the United States…, 2018).
The U.S. government spends $26 billion annually to fight HIV (HIV.gov, 2018).
HealthyPeople 2020 goals
The National HIV/AIDS strategy has three primary goals: to reduce the number of new HIV
infections, improve access to care and health outcomes for HIV patients, and minimize HIV-
related health inequities (HealthyPeople.gov, 2018). Guidelines for screening and diagnosis of
HIV include routine screening for pregnant women and the recommendation for anyone between
ages 13 and 64 to get tested at least once a year (HealthyPeople.gov, 2018). There are three
types of HIV tests: nucleic acid tests (NAT), antigen/antibody, and antibody (HealthyPeople.gov,
2018). If a test reads positive, the individual will be referred to a health care provider for follow-
up testing (Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention et al., 2018).
Activities and implementation strategies
The federal government has established 28 agencies that focus on reducing HIV acquisition
and transmission, as well as treating and monitoring HIV patients (Division of HIV/AIDS
Prevention et al., 2018). Agencies pass out free condoms and needles, show patients how to
properly take HIV medications, and suggest that non-HIV persons engage in low-risk sex
(Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention et al., 2018). One federal program that has seen a 90 percent
success rate is the Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Framework (CDC: Effectiveness of
prevention strategies…, 2017). PrEP involves taking a pill daily to reduce the risk of
transmission and improve health (CDC: effectiveness of prevention strategies…, 2017). This
program also focuses on reducing homelessness among HIV patients and providing free testing
and resources to care (CDC: effectiveness of prevention strategies…, 2017).
