INTEGRATED EPIDEMIOLOGIC PROFILE OF HIV/ AIDS IN PENNSYLVANIA

2009 – 2010

 

This publication provides epidemiologic/statistical information on the current situation of HIV/AIDS in Pennsylvania. It is based largely on data from HIV/AIDS surveillance conducted by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. The main purpose is to provide background data that will enable the state’s HIV/AIDS Prevention Planning Committee to make informed contributions to the annual update and redevelopment of the Epidemiologic Profile of HIV/AIDS in Pennsylvania. The profile forms the epidemiologic basis for the State’s Plan for HIV/AIDS Prevention activities [for the rest of the state - excluding the County/City of Philadelphia’s HIV/AIDS, which is funded through a separate mechanism]. The comprehensive approach in the description of the HIV/AIDS epidemic incorporates a variety of analyses and data sources. This permits flexibility for addition/ revisions in future editions, such as planned sections on persons living with AIDS and will extend the utilization of the data to a wider audience of public health planners and practitioners.
 

 

PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

INTEGRATED EPIDEMIOLOGIC PROFILE OF HIV/ AIDS IN PENNSYLVANIA

2009 – 2010

 

The Pennsylvania Department of Health (PADOH) is presenting the 2009/10 Summary Report of the Integrated Epidemiologic Profile of HIV/AIDS in Pennsylvania providing a comprehensive evaluation of data collected through different sources that are intended to provide epidemiologic /scientific resources in support of evidence-based planning for HIV/AIDS prevention and care activities. The HIV/AIDS Surveillance and HIV/AIDS Investigation Sections of the Division of Infectious Disease Epidemiology (IDE), Bureau of Epidemiology (BOE) are the primary entities in the Commonwealth with the capacity and responsibility for: a) HIV/AIDS surveillance and epidemiologic investigations; b) providing data and ongoing epidemiology support to prevention and care service development, evaluation and community planning processes (including participating in planning and implementation meetings, prioritization of population-transmission groups and interventions, conducting analyses to monitor trends, assess need for health-care resources, and project the future impact of the disease); and c) disseminating surveillance data through publications and presentations throughout the Commonwealth. Important uses of the collected data involve supporting the Prevention and Care Planning (PCP) programs during their planning process.
