  3. National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States

  4. NHAS Vision The United States will become a place where new infections are rare and when they do occur, every person, regardless of age, gender identity, or socio-economic circumstance, will have unfettered access to high quality, life-extending care, free from stigma and discrimination. —NHAS July 2010

  5. National HIV/AIDS Strategy Goals: • Reduce HIV incidence • Increase access to care and optimize health outcomes • Reduce HIV-related health disparities “Our country is at a crossroads. Right now, we are experiencing a domestic epidemic that demands a renewed commitment, increased public attention, and leadership.” President Barack ObamaJuly 13, 2010

  6. A More Coordinated National Response to HIV/AIDS • Ensure coordinated program administration • Promote equitable resource allocation • Streamline and standardize data collection • Provide rigorous evaluation of current programs and redirect resources to the most effective programs • Provide regular public reporting • Encourage States to provide regular progress reports

  7. Implementing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy

  8. HIV Care Continuum The HIV Care Continuum Initiative calls for coordinated action in response to data that has been released since the Strategy three years ago, showing only a quarter of people living with HIV in the United States have achieved the treatment goal of controlling the HIV virus.

  9. Ways to Support the NHAS • Discusswhat your agency or organization can do in new or different ways • Participatein state and local discussions about HIV • Engagenew partners in HIV prevention, care, treatment, and stigma-reduction to reach more people

  11. The HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Miami-Dade County Kira Villamizar, BS, MPH HIV/AIDS Program Coordinator Florida Department of Health in Miami Dade

  12. The Epidemic in Miami-Dade Population in 2013: 2.5 million(1st in the state)Newly diagnosed HIV infections in 2013: 1,436(1st in the state in 2013) Newly diagnosed AIDS cases in 2013: 709(1st in the state in 2013)Cumulative pediatric AIDS cases reported through (1981-2013): 512 (1st in the state through 2013)Persons diagnosed and living**with HIV disease through 2013: 26,489  HIV prevalence estimate through 2013: 33,725(Including those unaware of their status)HIV incidence in 2013: 1,436(There was a 25% decrease from 2004-2013) HIV-related deaths in 2013: 227 (Down 1.3% from 2011). 66% Hispanic 17% Black 15% White 2% Other* 45% Black 41% Hispanic 12% White 2% Other* *Other = Asian/Pacific Islanders; American Indians/Alaskan Natives; multi-racial. **Living (prevalence) data as of 06/30/2013

  13. The Epidemic in Miami-Dade (Cont.) • Nearly 1 in 6 people with HIV don’t know they are infected, don’t get medical care and can pass the virus on to others without knowing it • An estimated 60% of people with HIV are getting the care they need to manage their virus

  14. Adult AIDS Cases by Race/Ethnicity and Year of Report, 2004-2013, Partnership 11a White Black Hispanic Factors Affecting Disparities • Late diagnosis of HIV. • Access to/ acceptance of care. • Delayed prevention messages. • Stigma. • Non-HIV STD’s in the community. • Prevalence of injection drug use. • Complex matrix of factors related to socioeconomic status Note: In 2013, blacks accounted for 48% of adult AIDS cases, but only 16% of the population. From 2004 to 2013, the proportion of adult AIDS cases increased by 10 percentage points among Hispanics. In contrast, the proportion of adult AIDS cases decreased among whites and blacks by 2 and 6 percentage points, respectively, during the same time period. Numerous disparities can affect the increases of HIV disease in a given population. Other races represent less than 3% of the cases and are not included.

  15. Adult HIV Infection and AIDS Cases by Sex, Reported in 2013, Partnership 11a HIV Infection N=1,432 AIDS N=708 Note: Partnership 11a’s Adult Population is: 48% Male and 52% Female.

  16. Black Hispanic Other** White Adult HIV and AIDS Cases Reported in 2013 and Population Data, by Race/Ethnicity, Partnership 11a 2013 Partnership 11a Population Estimates* N=2,184,346 AIDS N=708 HIV Infection N=1,432 Note: In this snapshot for 2013, blacks are over-represented among the HIV and AIDS cases, accounting for 37% of adult HIV cases and 44% of adult AIDS cases and, but only 16% of the adult population. A group is disproportionately impacted to the extent that the percentage of cases exceeds the percentage of the population. *Source: Population estimates are provided by Florida CHARTS as of 06/03/2014. **Other includes Asian/Pacific Islanders, Native Alaskans/American Indians and mixed races.

  17. Number and Percentage of HIV-Infected PersonsEngaged in Selected Stages of The Continuum of HIV Care — Partnership 11a, 2013 (1) Number of cases known to be alive and living in Florida through 2013, regardless where diagnosed, as of 06/30/2014 (used for unmet need calculations). (2) Ever in Care = 86% of those cases were linked to care, based on persons living with HIV disease in Florida (regardless of where diagnosed) who ever had a CD4 or Viral load (VL) test in the electronic HIV/AIDS Reporting System (eHARS). (2010 National estimates are 79%*). (3) 55% of cases were in care this year, based on HRSA unmet need definition, for persons living with HIV in Florida (regardless of where diagnosed) and having at least 1 HIV-related care service involving either a VL or CD4 test or a refill of HIV-related RX. (2010 National estimates for in care are 56%*). (4) Estimated 90.6% of In care and on ART this year in Florida per 2011 MMP data (2010 National estimates are 80%*). (5) Estimated 78.0% on ART & the viral load is <200 this year in Florida per 2011 MMP data (2010 National estimates are 70%*). *Continuum of HIV care among Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program clients, U.S., 2010 (http://hab.hrsa.gov/data/reports/continuumofcare/index.html) For additional information please refer to the Florida Continuum of Care slide set accessible at http://www.floridahealth.gov/diseases-and-conditions/aids/surveillance/index.html

  18. Resident Deaths due to HIV Disease By Year of Death, 1995-2013, Partnership 11a These data represent a 81% decline in HIV resident deaths due to HIV disease from the peak year of 1995 to 2013. This is slightly higher than the 78% decline observed by the state. Source: Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Vital Statistics, Death Certificates (as of 05/16/2014). Population data are provided by Florida CHARTS. *Other includes Asian/Pacific Islanders, Native Alaskans/American Indians and mixed races.

  19. NHAS Goals for Reducing HIV Incidence • Reducing the number of people who become infected with HIV • Increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes for people living with HIV; and • Reducing HIV-related disparities

  20. Goal Increase the coordination of HIV programs across the Federal Government and between Federal agencies and State, territorial, local, and tribal governments. Develop improved mechanisms to monitor and report on progress toward achieving national goals. Achieving a More Coordinated National Response to the HIV Epidemic

  21. Goal Increased Collaboration with Ryan White Part A to maximize use of resources in the community (data sharing, linkage to care, prevention plan and comprehensive plan) Partnership with Miami Dade County Board of County Commissioners (Days of observance, county resolution) Partnership with Metro Transit (Take the Train-Take the Test) Activities Achieving a More Coordinated National Response to the HIV Epidemic

  22. Achieving a More Coordinated National Response to the HIV Epidemic How Can We Collaborate? • Linking newly released HIV positive inmates to medical care and services • Providing housing assistance to HIV positive persons • Providing substance abuse and mental health treatments • Engaging more faith leaders to promote nonjudgmental support for people living with HIV • Ensuring equal employment opportunities
