2. Pediatric AIDS Cases by Age Group and Year of Diagnosis, Florida, 1990-2008* Pediatric AIDS Cases by Age Group and Year of Diagnosis, Florida, 1990-2008* (N=1,430)
The incidence of AIDS in children under age two reached a high of 113 cases in 1992; this decreased to only two cases for children under the age of two in 2006 (Figure 2). HIV testing of pregnant women, combined with the introduction of zidovudine (ZDV) to prevent perinatal HIV transmission, has resulted in a 86% (Figure 9) reduction in perinatal HIV/AIDS cases in infants born in Florida since 1992. Consequently, it is important for all pregnant women to know their HIV status. This is substantiated by the fact that 96% of the 2,252 pediatric HIV/AIDS cases reported in Florida through 2007 were perinatally acquired. Florida law requires health care providers who attend a pregnant woman to test her for HIV at the initial prenatal care visit and again at 28 32 weeks gestation, unless she refuses. Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System data (PRAMS) indicate that in 2003, 89.6% of pregnant women received an HIV test during pregnancy. Pediatric AIDS cases reported at age two and older have also sharply declined since 1994 (Figure 2). This is partially due to the maternal use of antiretroviral treatment to prevent perinatal transmission of HIV, as well as the use of prophylactic medicines in HIV-infected pediatric cases to prevent AIDS opportunistic infections.

There has been a steady decrease in the number of diagnosed pediatric AIDS cases since 1992. Additionally, there has also been a steady decrease in the number of pediatric AIDS cases in those under six years of age (Figure 3). However, the percentage of new AIDS cases for those over age 12 has shown an increasing trend from 1% in 1990 to 80% in 2008 (Figure 4). This trend is most likely attributable to early diagnosis of HIV (prior to birth or shortly after) along with the increased use of antiretroviral and other medical therapies that help to delay the onset of AIDS. Since the total number of cases has fallen so steeply in the lower age groups, the actual number of AIDS cases diagnosed in 2008 over the age of twelve is 32, compared to only 1 in 1990.

16. Perinatal HIV/AIDS CasesData by Year of Birth
17. The estimated number of AIDS cases diagnosed among persons perinatally exposed to HIV peaked in 1992 and has decreased in recent years.The decline in these cases is likely associated with the implementation of Public Health Service guidelines for the universal counseling and voluntary HIV testing of pregnant women and the use of antiretroviral therapy for pregnant women and newborn infants (MMWR 2002;51(No. RR-18)). Other contributing factors are the effective treatment of HIV infections that slow progression to AIDS and the use of prophylaxis to prevent AIDS opportunistic infections among children.

Of the 2,306 perinatally infected babies born through 2008, 1 was born as early as 1977 (Figure 9). Since that time, the birth of HIV-infected babies continued to rise through 1992. In April 1994, the Public Health Service released guidelines for ZDV use to reduce perinatal HIV transmission, and in 1995 recommendations for HIV counseling and voluntary testing for pregnant women were published. The mandatory offering of HIV testing to pregnant women became law in Florida in October 1996. Since then, the percent of perinatally infected children who received ZDV or whose mothers received ZDV has increased markedly. Through enhanced perinatal surveillance systems, it has been documented that ZDV use among exposed infants and mothers of HIV-infected children has increased at the prenatal, intrapartum, delivery and neonatal stages. In the past few years, the use of other medical therapies, including protease inhibitors has supplemented the use of ZDV for both infected mothers and their babies. The use of these medical therapies has been accompanied by a decrease in the number of perinatally HIV-infected children and is responsible for the dramatic decline in perinatally acquired HIV/AIDS since 1994. Furthermore, as noted in detail later in this text, numerous initiatives have contributed to the reduction in these cases: provider education, social marketing etc. These initiatives have helped to further educate local providers in the importance of testing pregnant women for HIV and then offering effective treatment during the pregnancy and at delivery to further decrease the chances of vertical transmission. As a result, significant decreases in annual perinatal HIV-infected births have been observed since 1997, with a leveling trend since 2002 until 2008, where another sharp decrease occurred.

Distribution of the mothers exposure category has changed over time for children who were infected perinatally. In the early 1980s, many of these women were exposed to HIV through injection drug use or heterosexual contact (Figure 7). From 1990, the risk of injection use decreased as the risk of heterosexual contact continued to increase. Since 1992 a steady decline was observed for all risks as the annual number of perinatal cases decreased, due to improved prophylaxis against OIs and the use of combination antiretroviral therapy by pregnant women with HIV since 1994. Throughout the entire reporting period, many of the mothers risks were unknown. Most of the cases reported without a risk will be reclassified to the recognized risk categories as further information is reported. A review of data on women who were initially reported with no identified risk and later reclassified, suggests that greater than 85% of women with no identified risk were exposed through heterosexual contact. Since perinatal data revolves around the childs birth, the following data are based on year of birth, not year of report.Mothers Exposure Category by Year of Childs Birth for Perinatally Acquired HIV/AIDSReported in Florida*, Born through 2008** (N=2,306)

20. Among children who were infected perinatally with HIV/AIDS, the distribution of their mothers exposure categories has changed over time (Figure 8). Of the perinatal HIV and AIDS cases who were born through 1994, 47% were attributed to the mothers exposure to HIV through heterosexual contact, compared to 61% for those born 1995-2008. Injection drug use accounted for 25% of the cases born through 1994, but only 14% for those born between 1995-2008. Cases where the mothers risk was unknown represented less than one-third of the cases born through 1994 and less than one-fourth of the cases born during 1995-2008.

One third (34%, N=210) of the 618 perinatal HIV (not AIDS) cases born through 2008 were diagnosed less than the first 6 months of life (Figure 11). One-half (50%, N=308) of these perinatal HIV cases were diagnosed under the age of two. Furthermore, 24 (4%) were diagnosed with a perinatal risk after the age of 12. As already noted, early diagnosis of HIV is the key to infected children living longer as well as prolonging the onset of AIDS.Perinatally Acquired HIV (not AIDS) Cases by Age at Diagnosis (N=599)Florida, Born through 2008

More than one half (52%) (N=868) of the perinatal AIDS cases born through 2008 (N=1,684), were diagnosed with AIDS prior to the age of two (Figure 10). The number of AIDS cases diagnosed after age two decreases by age. Thirteen percent (N=220) of the cumulative AIDS cases were not diagnosed with AIDS until after the age of twelve (up from 5% in 2003).

The peak of PCP in children with perinatally acquired AIDS is four months of age (Figure 14). The age at diagnosis for the other AIDS-defining conditions is much more evenly distributed during the first two years of life. Because of the early presentation of PCP, recommendations for all perinatally HIV-exposed children are for PCP prophylaxis to begin at four to six weeks of age. Once the child is proven to be uninfected, the PCP prophylaxis is discontinued. Early diagnosis, treatment and care of an HIV perinatally infected child is crucial in delaying the onset of AIDS.

As of December 31, 2008, there were 1,426 perinatal HIV/AIDS cases reported in Florida, born through 2008 and presumed to be living (Figure 20). Their current ages range from 0 to 29 years. Overall, 830 (58%) have developed AIDS. As expected, the majority of the cases under age 13 are diagnosed with HIV (not AIDS) and the majority of cases ages 13 and older have developed AIDS. (In recent years, this age with the majority of AIDS cases started at 10 years). Access to antiretroviral medications and prophylaxis against opportunistic infections has aided in prolonging the life of many of these perinatal cases.Prevalence of Perinatal HIV/AIDS Cases in Florida

Although there have been significant decreases in perinatal HIV cases since 1992, each of the top reporting areas have reported at least one since 2000 (Table 6). As noted above, efforts will continue to be made to educate providers about the value of knowing the HIV status of all pregnant women during prenatal care and at delivery, and for those pregnant women testing positive for HIV, to offer the best treatment available to prevent vertical transmission.

As of 09/30/09, A total of 193 children born 2000-2008 have been reported with perinatally acquired HIV in Florida. A total of 170 (88%) were actually born in Florida. The following analysis will focus on the 170 perinatal HIV/AIDS cases who were born and reported in Florida.
Eighty percent (N=136) of the 170 perinatal cases born in Florida between 2000-2008 have not yet developed AIDS. The remaining 34 have. Sixty five percent (65%, N=89) of the HIV (not AIDS) cases perinatally infected and born in Florida during this period were diagnosed with HIV within the first 6 months of life (Figure 12). Seventy nine percent (79%, N=107) were diagnosed within the first year of life. Seventy-six percent (N=26) of 34 AIDS cases developed AIDS within the first year of life. The onset of AIDS can be postponed in children perinatally infected with HIV if early detection and treatment occurs. Florida law states that women are to be tested for HIV at their initial prenatal care visit, again at 28 - 32 weeks, and at labor and delivery if there was no test documented after 27 weeks gestation. Twenty percent of mothers of infected infants had an initial negative HIV test, meaning the mother contracted HIV during the pregnancy. It is critical that all pregnant women receive a second HIV test in the third trimester.

It is important for HIV-infected pregnant women to know their HIV status so they can make informed decisions about the use of ZDV and other antiretroviral therapy to reduce perinatal transmission of HIV to their infants. Seventy-three percent (N=124) of women who gave birth in Florida to children diagnosed with HIV between 2000 and 2008 knew their HIV status before their child was born (Table 3). Four percent were diagnosed at delivery. Twenty-seven percent (N=46) did not know their status until after their child was born. The data demonstrate that in most instances, these women received no prenatal care and presented at the hospital ready to deliver, with no time for HIV assessment. Oftentimes, the mother receives no HIV test, even after delivery. In other instances, pregnant women were diagnosed HIV negative during pregnancy, were never re-tested prior to delivery, and a negative HIV status was assumed. These perinatal cases are usually not identified as being infected until a year or more after birth, when they or their mother get sick and get tested. In many instances, it was the diagnosis of the child that led to the diagnosis of the mother. These data stress the importance of offering HIV testing, preferably with a rapid test, at labor and delivery to women of unknown HIV status. Florida law requires women who appear at delivery with no record of an HIV test during pregnancy to be tested for HIV. The Florida Department of Health contracts with the Florida/Caribbean AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) to educate health care providers who care for pregnant women, about HIV testing and treatment guidelines.

Seventy-three percent (N=124) of women who gave birth in Florida to children diagnosed with HIV between 2000 and 2008 knew their HIV status before their child was born (Table 3). Four percent were diagnosed at delivery. Twenty-seven percent (N=46) did not know their status until after their child was born. The data demonstrate that in most instances, these women received no prenatal care and presented at the hospital ready to deliver, with no time for HIV assessment. Oftentimes, the mother receives no HIV test, even after delivery. In other instances, pregnant women were diagnosed HIV negative during pregnancy, were never re-tested prior to delivery, and a negative HIV status was assumed. These perinatal cases are usually not identified as being infected until a year or more after birth, when they or their mother get sick and get tested. In many instances, it was the diagnosis of the child that led to the diagnosis of the mother. These data stress the importance of offering HIV testing, preferably with a rapid test, at labor and delivery to women of unknown HIV status. Florida law requires women who appear at delivery with no record of an HIV test during pregnancy to be tested for HIV. The Florida Department of Health contracts with the Florida/Caribbean AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) to educate health care providers who care for pregnant women, about HIV testing and treatment guidelines.

Percent of Pregnant Women Giving Birth
To a Child Diagnosed with HIV in Florida and
Were Known to be HIV Positive Prior to Delivery
By Year of Birth 2000-2008* (123 of 170 births (73%))
The percent of pregnant women giving birth to a child diagnosed with HIV and who knew their HIV status prior to birth has increased from 82% in 2000 to 89% in 2008 (Figure 13). As the number of perinatal HIV cases has decreased each year, those who are born HIV-infected are more likely to be born to a mother whose HIV status was not known prior to birth. Oftentimes, these are mothers who had no prenatal care, lacked the second HIV test required later in their pregnancy and/or arrive at the hospital on the day of delivery with little time to assess her HIV status prior to delivery. This may be evident by the observed increase since 2004. Based on recommendations from the CDC, Florida has a priority initiative to reduce HIV transmission from mother to children by promoting voluntary maternal testing and antiretroviral therapy. As previously noted (Figure 4), the percent of perinatal AIDS cases being diagnosed later in life has increased over the past five years. These data further demonstrate the positive benefits of knowing the HIV status of the mother at birth and treating HIV-infected children with antiretrovirals and other prophylactic therapies shortly after birth; thus delaying the onset of AIDS.

32. Possible Missed Opportunities to Prevent Perinatal Transmission of HIV Among HIV/AIDS CasesBorn in and Reported in Florida, 2000-2008**** (N=170) Possible Missed Opportunities to Prevent Perinatal Transmission of HIV Among HIV/AIDS CasesBorn in and Reported in Florida, 2000-2008**** (N=170)
There are several possible missed opportunities where interventions could have taken place to prevent HIV perinatal transmission among infants born during 2000 2008 (Table 4). These data include 23 immigration cases born outside of Florida (12% of total births reported in Florida). These cases are counted in the Florida data because they were diagnosed with HIV as a resident in Florida, however, since the pregnancy and birth did not take place in Florida, the women did not access services in Florida during pregnancy.
Other missed opportunities include: inadequate prenatal care, no prenatal antiretroviral therapies (ART), no ART at delivery, and/or no neonatal ART (with in the first 6 weeks of the infants life). Other contributing factors include that some of the mothers breast-fed, abused drugs, or acquired a sexually transmitted disease (STD) during her pregnancy or a combination of the above.

42. Prevention is the Key to Success
Without appropriate medical therapy, about 30% of babies born to pregnant women with HIV in Florida will be diagnosed with HIV. Infection can occur at any time during the pregnancy (usually preceding or during delivery), and can also occur through breastfeeding. Because infection can occur through breast milk, women with HIV are strongly encouraged not to breast feed their children. Even with proper prenatal care and treatment, approximately 2% of babies born to HIV-infected women will become infected. Prevention is the key to success (Figure 21).Prevention is the Key to Success
