STATE OF NEVADA RESEARCH

STATE OF NEVADA HISTORICAL STATS 2004-2008 CDC’s HIV Prevention Community Planning Guidance there are three goals in community planning: The community planning process supports a broad-based community participation in HIV prevention planning.
 Community planning identifies priority HIV prevention needs in each jurisdiction.
 Community planning ensures that HIV prevention resources target priority populations and interventions set forth in the comprehensive HIV prevention plan.

What is a Comprehensive HIV Prevention Plan? NEVADANS The primary responsibility of a CPG is to develop a comprehensive HIV prevention plan that includes prioritized target populations, community services assessment, gap analysis, and effective activities/interventions targeting the priority populations. The priority populations are determined based on epidemiological data and on the ability to provide the greatest impact on the number of new HIV infections. This plan assists local health authorities and state policy makers on making health care decisions to best meet the needs of its citizens.


  •  From 2004 to 2008, the number of new HIV infections Figure 6: In 2008, the number of new infections among Whites was 191; representing a 15% decrease since 2004. In 2008, new infections among Blacks was 116 and 107 among Hispanics; representing a 13% and 25% increases since 2004, respectively. Among all other races there were no significant changes from 2004 to 2008. Asian/Pacific Is23 Annual number of Persons Living with HIV/AIDS BY SEX 2004-2008 Figure 9: From 2004 to 2008, the number of males living with HIV/AIDS in Nevada increased 27% from 5,210 cases in 2004 to 6,617 in 2008. Among females living with HIV/AIDS in Nevada, in 2004 there were 1,051 females living with HIV/AIDS in Nevada and in 2008 there were 1,323; representing a 6% increase. Although a greater proportion of the male cases are AIDS compared to females; for both males and females, there was a greater increase among HIV (not AIDS) compared to AIDS cases from 2004 to 2008. This could suggest improved case management. From 2004 to 2008, among persons living with HIV in Nevada The most significant increase (with the exception of multi-race with an 83% annual increase) was among API, which increased 59% from 113 cases living with HIV/AIDS in 2004 to 180 in 2008 Annual number of persons living with HIV/AIDS Nevada by age at diagnosis 2004-2008 Figure 11: Among persons living with HIV/ AIDS in Nevada there was an upward trend in all age groups. The most significant annual increases were among 55-64 year olds which increased from 161 cases in 2004 to 274 cases in 2008; representing a 70% increase. This was followed by 13-24 year olds which increased 44%, 45-54 year olds which increased 36%, 35-44 year olds which increased 27%, less than 13 year olds increased 25%, and 25-34 year olds increased 16% from 2004 to 2008 among persons living with HIV/AIDS in Nevada. These trends show that individuals are living longer with HIV/AIDS as we are seeing a significant increase among older individuals. MSM and IDU have increased 7% and 12% respectively during this time period. Perinatal exposure has increased 22% from 2004- 2008, though there were no positive perinatal HIV cases in 2008.
