HIV-5 Reduce new AIDS cases among adolescent and adult heterosexuals

About the Data

Description of the data source, numerator, denominator, survey questions, and other relevant details about the national estimate.

Changed Since the Healthy People 2020 Launch: 
Yes
Measure: 
number
Baseline (Year): 
10,582 (2007)
Target: 
9,524
Target-Setting Method: 
10 percent improvement
Numerator: 

Number of AIDS cases among persons 13 years and older who report specific heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or be at high risk for, HIV infection

Comparable Healthy People 2010 Objective: 
Not applicable
Methodology Notes: 

    The AIDS case definition is provided by the CDC. The data are based on the CDC adult HIV/AIDS confidential case report, Form 50.42A, Rev. 3/2007.

    Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. Heterosexual contact is with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.

Revision History

Any change to the objective text, baseline, target, target-setting method or data source since the Healthy People 2020 launch.

Description of Changes Since the Healthy People 2020 Launch: 
The original baseline was revised from 11,110 to 10,582 due to reporting delays. The target was adjusted from 10,000 to 9,524 to reflect the revised baseline using the original target-setting method. In 2013, HIV-5 was archived with data because it is more important to focus on the earlier stages of HIV. AIDS is a less meaningful measurement because it takes a long time for HIV to advance to AIDS. AIDS measurements provide more information about what was happening with the epidemic in the past instead of what is happening now.
