State of Iowa HIV and AIDS Surveillance Report, December 2004

After taking a dip in 2003, HIV diagnoses were back up in 2004. There were 103 persons diagnosed in 2004, very close to our ten-year average of 100 cases per year. In 2003, there were 91 diagnoses. The increase in 2004 was limited to one demographic group: white, U.S.-born males. Most of these were men who have sex with men, but there were also small increases among injection-drug-using men and those without a known risk. Their median age was 41, slightly older than the overall median age of 38 years. Eighty percent were residents of the 10 most populous counties in Iowa, particularly the counties of Polk, Pottawattamie, Johnson, Linn, Scott, Story, and Woodbury.

State of Iowa HIV and AIDS Surveillance Report, December 2003

There were 33 new diagnoses of HIV infection reported in Iowa in the 4th quarter. Keeping in mind that more diagnoses will yet be reported for 2003, we have so far received reports of 79 Iowans who were newly diagnosed with HIV infection in 2003. Reports on persons diagnosed in the last quarter of the year will continue to trickle in through the end of March, but we’ll definitely be substantially below the 104 diagnoses we saw in 2002.

State of Iowa HIV and AIDS Surveillance Report, September 2005

This quarter, we received reports for 26 HIV diagnoses. So far this year, there have been 79 HIV diagnoses reported, exactly the same as this time last year. Thirty-five percent received concurrent AIDS diagnoses. There were 57 AIDS diagnoses in the first three quarters of 2005, 20% higher than what we saw at this time last year. Nearly half (47%) of these were persons who had been diagnosed with HIV for at least one year (fifteen years for two persons), and the rest received concurrent HIV and AIDS diagnoses. In surveillance news, Illinois, Maine, and Philadelphia have announced that they will begin HIV reporting by name on January 1, 2006. Currently they use code or name-to-code systems to report new diagnoses of HIV. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not accept information from areas that report HIV cases by code, so no national surveillance data are available for HIV diagnoses. For this reason, Ryan White CARE Act funds cannot be appropriated according to the number of persons living with HIV. Instead, funds are distributed according to the number of AIDS cases reported to surveillance systems. These data are not representative of current trends in the epidemic and may be rewarding areas for having poorer health care systems.

State of Iowa HIV and AIDS Surveillance Report, March 2005

This quarter, we had 33 diagnoses of HIV infection (regardless of AIDS status), which is a little above our usual pace. Fifteen (45%) received concurrent diagnoses of AIDS. There were 8 persons who converted from HIV to AIDS, for a total of 23 AIDS diagnoses, also a little higher than expected. Of note is an increase in the percentage of HIV and AIDS cases diagnosed among Black, non-Hispanic persons during the 1st quarter of 2005. We also saw a bit of an increase in HIV diagnoses among foreign-born persons. It is too early to identify this as a trend; we’ll keep an eye on these numbers through the rest of the year.
