4. Diagnoses of HIV Infection among Female Adults and Adolescents by Race/Ethnicity, 2015—United States
This slide presents the numbers and rates of diagnoses of HIV infection among female adults and adolescents in the United States.
In 2015, the rate (per 100,000 population) of diagnoses of HIV infection among black/African American females (26.2) was over 16 times as high as the rate for white females (1.6) and nearly 5 times as high as the rate for Hispanic/Latino females (5.3).
Relatively few diagnoses of HIV infection were among American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander females, and females of multiple races; however, the rates for American Indian/Alaska Native females (5.6), females of multiple races (5.5), Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander females (3.5), and Asian females (1.7) were all higher than that for white females.
Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. Data for the year 2015 are preliminary and based on 6 months reporting delay.
Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
Note. Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. Data for the year 2015 are preliminary and based on 6 months reporting delay. Rates are per 100,000 population.

5. Diagnoses of HIV Infection Among Persons Aged 13 Years and Older, by Sex and Age Group, 2014 — United States and 6 Dependent Areas
In 2014, the distribution of diagnoses of HIV infection by sex varied with age group at diagnosis in the United States and 6 dependent areas. In 2014, females accounted for an estimated 19% of adolescents aged 13 to 19 years with diagnosed HIV infection, compared with 11% of young adults aged 20 to 24 years and 21% of adults aged 25 years and older.
Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. Age group assigned based on age at diagnosis.

6. Rates of Diagnoses of HIV Infection among Female Adults and Adolescents 2015—United States and 6 Dependent Areas N = 7,498 Total Rate = 5.4
In the United States and 6 dependent areas, the rate of diagnoses of HIV infection among female adults and adolescents was 5.4 per 100,000 population in The rate of diagnoses for female adults and adolescents ranged from zero per 100,000 in American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the Republic of Palau to per 100,000 in the District of Columbia, 14.0 in Maryland, and 13.8 in Louisiana.   
The District of Columbia (i.e., Washington, DC) is a city; use caution when comparing the HIV diagnosis rate in DC with the rates in states.

19. HIV Infection in Women in Our Community: The Continuum of Care
Despite overall improvement in infection rates, prevalence of infection in women in our community continues to increase and leads the nation.
At time of diagnosis, women have a slight advantage in terms of preservation of immune status.
Significant improvement has occurred for both women and men in their “care dynamics”.
There are few systematic differences in HIV infection in men and woman in our community other than mode of transmission.
Successful longterm management of HIV will put a premium on managing collateral health conditions
