Hispanics/Latinos

This report on HIV prevention interventions designed for and conducted among women of color in the United States is the third in a series of systematic reviews of HIV/AIDS prevention interventions for people of color throughout the United States. The report is based on evaluated research literature. It presents epidemiological information on HIV/AIDS in the United States among the following women: African American, Latina/Hispanic, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and Native American and Alaskan Native.

This report calculates the estimated lifetime risk (ELR) and age-conditional risk for diagnosis of HIV infection among Hispanics/Latinos in 37 states and Puerto Rico. The CDC analyzed HIV surveillance data, vital statistics data on general and HIV-specific mortality, and US Census data from 2007. Results indicate that an estimated 1.92 percent (one in 52) Hispanics/Latinos would be diagnosed with HIV during their lifetimes, compared with an ELR of .59 percent (one in 170) for whites, and 4.65 percent (one in 22) for blacks/African Americans.
