Burden of HIV in the United States • 1.1 million people living with HIV • Net increase of 40,000 people with HIV infections each year • 56,000 new infections (2006) • 16,000 deaths (2006) • HIV infected people who start antiretroviral treatment (ART) are now expected to live at least an additional 35 years • Lifetime treatment costs of ~$400,000
Number of people living with HIV continues to increase sharply HIV Incidence and Prevalence, United States, 1977–2006 JAMA 2008;300(5):520-529.Campsmith M, et al. CROI 2009.
Stark disparities in HIV/AIDS among different groups • 95% of people with AIDS are MSM, African American, Latino, or IDU • African Americans are 8 times more likely than whites to have HIV • Latinos are 3 times more likely to have HIV than whites • MSM are >40 times more likely to have HIV than other men and women CDC, HIV Surveillance Report,2008. Published June 2010. www.cdc.gov/hiv/surveillance/resources/reports MSM = Men having sex with men IDU = Intravenous drug users
From 2005-2008, the percentage of HIV diagnoses attributed to male-to-male sexual contactincreased — 37 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas Note: Data include adults and adolescents with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. Data from 37 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas with confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2005. All displayed data have been estimated. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor information, but not for incomplete reporting. 1Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection. 2 Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified.

HIV prevention worksSaves lives and money • Our collective prevention efforts have led to a dramatic reduction in HIV infections • Estimated number of new HIV infections per year was 130,000 in 1985 • Down to an estimated 56,000 new HIV infections per year in 2006 • Conservative estimates are that prevention efforts have: • Averted more than 350,000 HIV infections in the United States • Saved more than $125 billion in medical costs Source: Holtgrave DR. Written testimony on HIV/AIDS incidence and prevention for the US House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. September 16, 2008.
Key HIV prevention strategies Promote: • Abstinence (or delaying sex) • Fewer sexual partners (ideally, monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner) • Consistent and correct use of condoms (male/female) • Not sharing syringes for injection drug use
Cost benefits of HIV prevention Pennies ~$400,000 Lifetime cost of treating one HIV-infected person Cost of condoms
Other HIV prevention strategies • Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs): • To prevent perinatal transmission • To reduce infectiousness • To prevent new infections (as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis [PrEP]) • Male circumcision • To reduce risk of HIV infection through penile-vaginal sex
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) • Potential users: HIV-uninfected persons at high risk of becoming infected • High risk may include sexual partner who has HIV, multiple partners, frequent STDs, or other evidence of high risk • Recent trial demonstrates the safety and efficacy of PrEP for MSM at high risk • Cost-effectiveness depends on: • HIV incidence in target groups • Cost of medication and services • Ability to maintain or increase existing risk reduction behavior • Adherence to medication • $34,000-$320,000 per QALY saved Source: Paltiel et al. CID 2009:48(6):806-816Smith, et al. MMWR 2011:60(03);65-68

Policy, Systems, and Environmental ChangeIntegrating Prevention and Healthcare Policy development and support • Guidelines and recommendations (testing, prevention with positives, ART) • Quality measures: Development and uptake • Reimbursement coding guidance
Policy, Systems, and Environmental ChangeIntegrating Prevention and Healthcare New programs and models • Expanded Testing Initiative: 30 jurisdictions covering >90% of epidemic • Over 2.6 million HIV tests conducted; 27,000 HIV infections diagnosed • Enhanced HIV Prevention Planning: 12 urban areas covering 44% of epidemic • Integrating HIV prevention, care, treatment services across health care system and community
Testing and diagnosis is prevention • 21% (230,000) with undiagnosed HIV • Account for approximately 50% of new HIV transmissions • 79% (870,000) with diagnosed HIV • More likely than undiagnosed to access prevention and treatment Source: Marks G, et al (2006). AIDS 20(10): 1447-1450.
HIV testing is a prevention strategy • CDC’s 2006 HIV Testing Recommendations for Health Care Settings • Promote routine screening of patients age 13-64 • Routine, opt-out screening in clinical settings costs $2,000-$6,000 per HIV diagnosis confirmed Source: Campsmith M et al. (2010). JAIDS 53:619--24.
Key approaches and program considerations in HIV prevention • HIV testing and linkage to care • Prevention with positives • Policy and structural interventions • Targeted interventions • Surveillance, monitoring, and evaluation • Evidence-based planning • Health equity • Health reform • Program collaboration and service integration
Focusing resources • Burden of disease • Geographic distribution • Groups disproportionately affected by HIV (MSM, African Americans, Latinos, injection drug users) • HIV prevention services • For people living with HIV • For people at high risk for HIV infection • Monitoring the epidemic, sharing, and using information • Discovering and operationalizing new interventions
Maximizing impact • Target programs to people and geographic areas most at risk for transmission or acquisition • Focus on interventions with evidence for large effect size • Choose feasible efforts with potential for large-scale implementation
“The United States will become a place where new HIV infections are rare and when they do occur, every person, regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic circumstance, will have unfettered access to high quality, life-extending care, free from stigma and discrimination.” —Vision of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy
