HIV/AIDS Surveillance in Women
L264 slide series through 2002
Slide 1 of 8
Slide 1 - Title: Estimated Number and Proportion of AIDS Cases among Female Adults and Adolescents, 1985–2002, United States The proportion of AIDS cases among women and adolescent girls (aged >13 years) increased from 7% in 1985 to 26% in 2002. AIDS incidence among female adults and adolescents rose steadily through 1993, when the AIDS surveillance case definition was expanded, and leveled off at approximately 13,000 AIDS cases each year from 1993 through 1996. In 1996, incidence among women and adolescent girls began to decline, primarily because of the success of antiretroviral therapies. From 1996 through 2002, an average of 11,000 cases of AIDS were diagnosed in female adults and adolescents each year. Data for this slide were statistically adjusted for reporting delays.
