This document discusses HIV/AIDS and is divided into four parts. It provides epidemiological data showing over 40 million people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide, with sub-Saharan Africa the most affected region. Modes of HIV transmission include sexual contact, perinatal transmission from mother to child, and exposure to infected blood through activities like IV drug use and occupational needlestick injuries in healthcare settings. The document outlines definitions of key terms and the clinical progression from HIV infection to an AIDS diagnosis.

5. HIV/AIDS: Basic Definitions
Human Immune Deficiency Virus: HIV
• Infected with HIV virus
• Virus is a retrovirus – meaning that its genetic
information is stored on a single-stranded RNA
instead of the double-strand DNA found in
most organisms
Acquired Immune Deficiency Virus: AIDS
• An incurable infectious viral disease that
results in damage to the immune system in
otherwise healthy people
• Average progression, without treatment, from
HIV infection to AIDS diagnosis is 10 years.
6. Basic Definitions
Opportunistic Infections (OIs):
• Infections by common microorganisms that
usually do not cause problems in healthy
individuals
• OIs are the major health problems for AIDS
patients
CD4:
• Type of lymphocyte (white blood cell)
• Important part of the immune system
• HIV most often infects CD4 cells to replicate
the virus inside of these cells
• HIV+ patients have their CD4 cells monitored
routinely to gauge their progress.
7. HIV vs AIDS
AIDS definition: Once an HIV • Mycobacterium
patient receives a diagnosis of
the following disorders, they TB
receive a diagnosis of AIDS: Mycobacterium
• Candida
avium complex
Pulmonary
Esophageal
• Progressive multifocal
Not thrush leukoencephalopathy
• Pneumocystis carinii • Recurrent pneumonia
pneumonia (PCP)
• Toxoplasmosis
• Coccidiodomycosis –
extrapulmonary • Wasting syndrome
• Cervical cancer • CD4 < 200 or < 14%
• Cytomgalovirus (CMV) lymph
• HIV encephalopathy
• Chronic Herpes Simples • Cryptosporidium
Virus infections • Isospora
• Kaposi’s sarcoma • Recurrent bacterial
• Lymphoma infection
• Recurrent pneumonia
8. History of HIV/AIDS
History of HIV/AIDS epidemic in the
U.S. is very recent.
June 1981: the first description of
what would soon be referred to as
AIDS appeared in the Center for
Disease Control’s (CDC) Morbidity
and Mortality Weekly Report.
9. Initial Reports
June 5, 1981: 5 cases of PCP
in gay men from UCLA
(MMWR)

10. Introduction
CDC (2009) estimates 1.2 million people in the
United States (US) are living with HIV infection.
• About 33 million people living with HIV worldwide
One in five (20%) of those people are unaware
of their infection.
Despite increases in the total number of people
in the US living with HIV infection in recent
years, the annual number of new HIV infections
has remained relatively stable.
• New infections continue at far too high of a level,
with approximately 50,000 Americans becoming
infected with HIV each year.

From 2006 through 2009 the number of diagnoses of HIV infection among adults and adolescents remained stable in the 40 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006. In 2009, an estimated 42,793 adults and adolescents were diagnosed with HIV infection; of these, 76% of diagnoses were among males and 24% were among females. The estimated number of diagnoses of HIV infection among males increased 5% from 2006-2009. The estimated number among female adults and adolescents decreased 9% from 2006-2009. The following 40 states have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The 5 U.S. dependent areas include American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting.
In 2009, among adult and adolescent males diagnosed with HIV infection in the 40 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006, an estimated 74% of infections were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact and 8% were attributed to injection drug use. Approximately 14% of diagnosed infections were attributed to heterosexual contact and 4% attributed to male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use. Most (85%) diagnosed HIV infections among adult and adolescent females were attributed to heterosexual contact, and 15% were attributed to injection drug use. The following 40 states have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The 5 U.S. dependent areas include American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. All displayed data have been estimated. 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.
In 2009, among the 32,538 adult and adolescent males diagnosed with HIV infection in the 40 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006, 46% were black/African American, 31% were white and 20% were Hispanic/Latino. Approximately 1% of diagnoses among males were Asian and males reporting multiple races, and less than 1% each was American Indian/Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander. Among the 10,255 adult and adolescent females diagnosed with HIV infection in 2009, 65% were black/African American, 17% were white and 16% were Hispanic/Latino. Approximately 1% of diagnoses were among Asians and females reporting multiple races, and less than 1% each was among American Indians/Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians/other Pacific Islanders. The following 40 states have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2006: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The 5 U.S. dependent areas include American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
The distribution of AIDS diagnoses by transmission category has shifted since the beginning of the epidemic. In 1985, male-to-male sexual contact accounted for an estimated 65% of all AIDS diagnoses; this proportion reached its lowest point in 1999 at 40% of diagnoses. Since then, the percentage of AIDS diagnoses attributed to male-to-male sexual contact has increased and in 2009 this transmission category accounted for 49% of all AIDS diagnoses. The estimated percentage of AIDS diagnoses attributed to injection drug use increased from 20% to 32% during 1985–1993 and decreased since that time accounting for 15% of diagnoses in 2009. The estimated percentage of AIDS diagnoses attributed to male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use decreased from 9% in 1985 to 5% in 2009. The estimated percentage of AIDS diagnoses attributed to heterosexual contact increased from 3% in 1985 to 31% in 2009. The remaining AIDS diagnoses were those attributed to hemophilia or the receipt of blood or blood products and those in persons without an identified risk factor. All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information, but not for incomplete reporting. Heterosexual contact is with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
ABCs of prevention: A = abstinence, B = be faithful, C = use condoms (correctly & cosistently)
