Viral Load Distribution in Georgia, 2012 - HIV Statistics Analysis

This study evaluates viral load distribution among persons living with HIV and those newly diagnosed in Georgia in 2011-2012. It analyzes the suppression levels, undiagnosed rates, and demographic variations to understand the HIV landscape in the region.

  1. Viral load distribution 2012 among persons living with HIVand persons newly diagnosed Georgia, 2011

  2. Adults and adolescents living with HIV, Georgia, 2012 Adults and adolescents >= age 13, diagnosed by 09/30/2011, living 12/31/2012, Georgia = 46,495 Engaged in care >= 1 CD4 or VL in 2012 Retained in care >= 2 CD4 or VL at least 3 months apart in 2012 Viral suppression (VS) = VL<200 copies/ml Estimated undiagnosed based on CDC projections for proportion undiagnosed nationally

  3. Viral suppression • Individuals with an undetectable viral load (VL) or VL<200 copies/ml on the last measurement in 2012 are considered virally suppressed • Individuals with a VL >200 or who have had no VL measured in 2012 are considered to be not virally suppressed • What proportion of those not virally suppressed have a documented VL >200 versus no VL measured in 2012?

  4. Viral load (VL) among adults and adolescents living with HIV, Georgia, 2012 Adults and adolescents >= age 13, diagnosed by 09/30/2011, living 12/31/2012, Georgia = 46,495 VL<200 copies/ml = viral suppression VL >200 copies/ml = no viral suppression VL Missing = no apparent viral load measured in 2012

Viral load (VL) among adults and adolescents living with HIV, by sex, Georgia, 2012 Adults and adolescents >= age 13, diagnosed by 09/30/2011, living 12/31/2012, Georgia = 46,495 VL<200 copies/ml = viral suppression VL >200 copies/ml = no viral suppression VL Missing = no apparent viral load measured in 2012

  6. Viral load (VL) among adults and adolescents living with HIV, by race/ethnicity, Georgia, 2012 Adults and adolescents >= age 13, diagnosed by 09/30/2011, living 12/31/2012, Georgia = 46,495 VL<200 copies/ml = viral suppression VL >200 copies/ml = no viral suppression VL Missing = no apparent viral load measured in 2012 *American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander groups together constitute <2% of males living with HIV in Georgia and are grouped with those of mixed or unknown race/ethnicity

  7. Viral load (VL) among adult and adolescents living with HIV, by transmission category*, Georgia, 2012 Adults and adolescents >= age 13, diagnosed by 09/30/2011, living 12/31/2012, Georgia = 46,495 VL<200 copies/ml = viral suppression VL >200 copies/ml = no viral suppression VL Missing = no apparent viral load measured in 2012 *MSM = Male to male sexual contact IDU = Injection drug use MSM/IDU = Male to male sexual contact and injection drug use HET = Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection Other = hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified

  8. Viral load (VL) among adult and adolescent males living with HIV, by transmission category*, Georgia, 2012 Adult and adolescent males >= age 13, diagnosed by 09/30/2011, living 12/31/2012, Georgia = 34,510 VL<200 copies/ml = viral suppression VL >200 copies/ml = no viral suppression VL Missing = no apparent viral load measured in 2012 *MSM = Male to male sexual contact IDU = Injection drug use MSM/IDU = Male to male sexual contact and injection drug use HET = Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection Other = hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified

  21. Limitations • Incomplete reporting • Missing data for race/ethnicity, sex, and current address • Lack of transmission category information • Multiple imputation use to redistribute risk when missing • Missing laboratory reports may lead to underestimation of viral suppression • This analysis cannot identify causes of poor viral suppression
