This report provides statistics on annual hospitalizations estimated from hospital discharges during 1997–2007 with any listed HIV/AIDS diagnoses. From 1997-2007 a substantially higher rate of men than women aged greater than or equal to 45 years were hospitalized with a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS. Hospitalization rates for men in this age group increased from 7.7 per 10,000 in 1997 to 14.8 in 2007; rates for women in this age group increased from 1.9 per 10,000 in 1997 to 4.9 in 2007.

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.

This report provides the most recent population-based estimates of hepatocellular cancer (HCC) incidence rates and trends in the United States. The report summarizes the results of CDC analysis of data for the period 2001-2006 from CDC’s National Program of Cancer Registries and the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results surveillance system, to determine trends in HCC incidence. Results determined that average annual incidence rate of HCC for 2001-2006 was 3.0 per 100,000 persons and increased from 2.7 per 100,000 in 2001 to 3.2 in 2006.

This report summarizes results of an analysis of District of Columbia (DC) HIV case surveillance data, HIV testing data, and data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System to describe recent trends in HIV disease and testing. The DC Department of Health used HIV case surveillance data for residents of DC reported through December 31, 2009 to determine the number and percentage of adolescents and adults aged>12 years newly diagnosed with AIDS 2004-2008, overall and by race/ethnicity and sex.

This internet file of the 2010 annual report from the Arizona Department of Health Services contains sections in PDF and Power Point formats. Arizona county health information is also provided.

This handbook focuses specifically on three technologies that are being widely used to help TB patients complete their treatment over the many months that their regimens last.

This information sheet presents new estimates of the annual number of new HIV infections (HIV incidence) in the United States released by CDC in August 2011. The estimates, for 2006 through 2009, are the first multi-year estimates using CDC’s national HIV incidence surveillance methodology, which is based on direct measurement of new HIV infections using a laboratory test (the BED HIV-1 Capture Enzyme Immunoassay) that can classify new diagnoses as either recent or long-standing HIV infections.

This information sheet summarizes the key findings of the new analysis of the CDC’s new estimates of the annual number of new HIV infections in the United States. The new analysis was published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report of September 12, 2008. The results of the analysis shows that among gay and bisexual men, young African Americans and Whites in their 30s and 40s are most affected, African American women are more affected than women of other races, and men account for the majority of new HIV infection among Hispanics/Latinos.
