Slide 1: Estimated Numbers and Percentages* of AIDS Cases among Female Adults and Adolescents 1985–2007—United States and Dependent Areas

The percentage of AIDS cases among female adults and adolescents (age ≥13 years) increased from 7% in 1985 to 27% in 2007.

AIDS incidence among female adults and adolescents rose steadily through 1993, when the AIDS surveillance case definition was expanded, and leveled off at approximately 13,000 AIDS cases each year from 1993 through 1996. In 1996, incidence among women and adolescent girls began to decline, primarily because of the success of antiretroviral therapies. Cases have leveled since 2000.

The data have been adjusted for reporting delays.

Slide 2: Estimated Numbers of AIDS Cases and Rates for Female Adults and Adolescents, by Race/Ethnicity 2007—50 States and DC

For female adults and adolescents, in 2007 the AIDS diagnosis rate (AIDS cases per 100,000) for black/African American females (39.8) was 22 times as high as the rate for white females (1.8).

The estimated number of AIDS cases diagnosed among females in 2007 was similar for Hispanics/Latino and white females; however, the rate for Hispanics/Latino females (8.9) was nearly 5 times as high as the rate for white females.

Relatively few cases were diagnosed among Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander females, although the rate for American Indian/Alaska Native females (5.0) was nearly 3 times as high as the rate for white females.

The data have been adjusted for reporting delays.

Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases are cases that were collected under the old race/ethnicity classification system. Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases are included in the totals for Asians. 

Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.

Slide 3: Percentages of AIDS Cases among Female Adults and Adolescents, by Transmission Category and Age at Diagnosis 2007—United States and Dependent Areas

Most of the AIDS cases diagnosed in 2007 among females age 13 years or older were attributed to high-risk heterosexual contact.

Of AIDS cases among women age 35 years and older, 28% were attributed to injection drug use, compared with 8% of cases in females age 13-19 years, 12% in women age 20-24 years, 18% in women age 25-34, and 25% in women age 35-44 years.

Among females age 13-19 years, 43% were exposed to HIV through perinatal transmission, and are included in the “other/not identified” transmission category.

The data have been adjusted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information.

Slide 4: AIDS Rates for Female Adults and Adolescents Reported in 2007—United States and Dependent Areas

Rates of reported AIDS cases (per 100,000 population) among female adults and adolescents are shown for each state, the District of Columbia, and for U.S. dependent areas. The highest rates were found in the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Maryland, New York, and Florida. Rates were lowest in states in the Midwest.

The District of Columbia is a metropolitan area, use caution when comparing its AIDS rate to state AIDS rates.

Rates were not calculated for states reporting fewer than 5 AIDS cases in females in 2007.

Slide 5: AIDS Cases among Female Adults and Adolescents Attributed to Injection Drug Use or High-Risk Heterosexual Contact, by Region, 2003–2007—50 States and DC

From 2003 through 2007, an estimated 48,104 AIDS cases diagnosed among female adults and adolescents were attributed to either injection drug use or high-risk heterosexual contact. High-risk heterosexual contact accounted for the majority of AIDS cases among females, particularly in the South.

Most AIDS cases were among female adults and adolescents who reside in the South and Northeast regions.

Data have been adjusted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information.
Regions of residence are defined as follows:
Northeast—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont
Midwest—Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin
South—Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia
West—Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming

Slide 6: Reported AIDS Cases among Female Adults and Adolescents, by Region and Race/Ethnicity, 2007—50 States and DC

Most reported AIDS cases among female adults and adolescents were among those who resided in the South and the Northeast.

The majority of cases were among black/African American female adults and adolescents in the South, Northeast, and Midwest regions. In the West, there was less disparity in the AIDS case counts among black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and white female adults and adolescents.

Data are not shown for Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander female adults and adolescents because the numbers reported in 2007, when stratified by region of residence, were small.

Regions of residence are defined as follows:
Northeast—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont
Midwest—Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin
South—Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia
West—Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming

Slide 7: Female Adults and Adolescents 15 to 44 Years of Age Reported to be Living with HIV Infection (not AIDS), 2007—47 States the District of Columbia and 5 U.S. Dependent  Areas N=56,235*

In 2007, there were 56,235 female adults and adolescents 15 to 44 years of age reported to be living with HIV infection (not AIDS) in the 47 states, the District of Columbia, and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting. These women are of childbearing age and in the years of highest fertility.

In most states with HIV surveillance, the number of reported HIV infected female adults and adolescents who have not progressed to AIDS exceeds the number of female adults and adolescents with AIDS (see slide 8). Together these numbers indicate the burden of HIV and the number of persons in need of HIV-related medical and social services for themselves and to prevent transmission of HIV to their children. States with integrated HIV and AIDS surveillance data may be better able to target programs and services to reduce transmission to newborns.

The numbers presented here are an underestimate of female adults and adolescents living with HIV. There may be many infected females who have not been tested or not reported in areas with relatively new HIV infection surveillance systems.

In 2007, the District of Columbia and the following 47 states and 5 US dependent areas conducted HIV case surveillance and reported cases of HIV infection in adults, adolescents, and children to CDC:
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Slide 8: Female Adults and Adolescents 15 to 44 Years of Age Reported to be Living with AIDS, 2007—United States and Dependent Areas N=53,377*

In 2007, there were 53,377 female adults and adolescents 15 to 44 years of age reported to be living with AIDS in the United States and dependent areas. These women are of childbearing age and in the years of highest fertility.

In most states with HIV surveillance, the number of reported HIV infected female adults and adolescents who have not progressed to AIDS exceeds the number of female adults and adolescents with AIDS (see slide 7). Together these numbers indicate the burden of HIV and the number of persons in need of HIV-related medical and social services for themselves and to prevent transmission of HIV to their children. States with integrated HIV and AIDS surveillance data may be better able to target programs and services to reduce transmission to newborns.
