Impact of HIV Disease,Among the Haitian-Born,
Reported in Florida, through 2012
Created: 8/1/13
Revision: 10/09/13
To protect, promote and improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county, and community efforts.
HIV and AIDS Case Data Adult cases represent ages 13 and older, pediatric cases are
those under the age of 13. For data by year, the age is by age of diagnosis. For living data, the age is by current age at the end of the most recent calendar year, regardless of age at diagnosis.
Unless otherwise noted, whites are non-Hispanic and blacks are non-Hispanic.
Total statewide data will include Department of Correction Cases (DOC) unless otherwise noted. County data will exclude DOC cases.
HIV prevalence data are generated later in the year, usually in May, when most of the “expected” death data are complete.
Unless otherwise note, cases with an unknown or blank country of birth were eliminated from these analyses.
For expanded data on Country of Birth, see the COB Slide set: http://www.doh.state.fl.us/disease_ctrl/aids/trends/slides/slides.html

Note: AIDS cases tend to represent HIV transmission that occurred many years ago. The relative increase in female cases reflects the changing face of the AIDS epidemic among the Haitian–born over time. In 2003, 35% of the AIDS cases reported in Florida were female compared to 2012 where 46% of the AIDS cases were female. As the proportion of females goes up the ratio of males to females decreases as reflected above.

Note: The trend for Haitian-born HIV Infection Cases by sex is different than that for Haitian-born AIDS cases and for all HIV Infection Cases, regardless of country of birth. These trends show that for most of the years, the proportion of female Haitian-born HIV Infection Cases actually is higher than that for Haitian-born males.
