3. Problem By Variation
Problem:
Pediatric HIV death Cases by Current Age: HIV cases from
the year 1984 of 4 cases to the 94 cases in the year 2010
Pediatric HIV race / ethnicity Cases by <13 Age group:
Male: The total number by age group is by population- 74,544,
cases-16, rate-21.5- and ratio-5,120
Female: The total number by age group is by population- 71,690,
cases-14, rate-19.5- and ratio-4,659.

4. Problem by variation
Pediatric CD4 Diagnosis Cases by <13 Age group: Of the total 87,670
population reported HIV diagnosis, the first CD4 diagnoses test result
has only 1 number, 0.3%age total and occurred at the rate of 1.1.
Pediatric AIDS Diagnosis Cases by <13 Age group: Of the total 87,670
population reported HIV diagnosis, the first CD4 diagnoses test result
has only 0 numbers, 0.0 %age total and occurred at the rate of 0.0.
Pediatric HIV Cases by ZIP code at <13 Age group: Number and
Percent of Total of Pediatric Reported HIV Cases, Age <13 at HIV
Diagnosis, with or without an AIDS Diagnosis by ZIP Code of Residence
has a total number 0f 94 and 100.0% cases.

8. Impact And Outcome
Short and Long term outcomes:
 Evaluation 1: Interventions should focus on well characterized, specific target audiences.
 Evaluation 2: HIV/AIDS prevention interventions and messages must be motivational for
possible behavior change.
 At-risk individuals must be provided with both skills and supplies to prevent HIV.
 Evaluation 4: A supportive environment needs to be created for HIV prevention.
 Evaluation 5: maintaining and sustaining tools need to be formed to HIV prevention
behaviors and activities.
 Evaluation 6: program planners should identify and use opportunities to work
collaboratively.
