HIV Surveillance Report Arkansas, 2017
Page 2 of 39
This issue of the HIV Surveillance Report is produced by the Arkansas Department of Health, Infectious Disease Branch. Data are presented for incidence and prevalence of HIV infection among residents of Arkansas based on data reported to the HIV Surveillance Program as of December 31, 2017. DISCLAIMER: Since January 2014 the Arkansas HIV Surveillance Program has been conducting data cleaning activities on Arkansas surveillance data to ensure the most accurate picture of the HIV epidemic in Arkansas. As a result of this process, you may notice a difference in the number of cases reported in previous issues of this document. Increased numbers of cases presented in this report partly reflect inclusion of incomplete case reports from prior years. A case is assigned to a specific year if the case is completed and reported in that year regardless of when the initial diagnosis is considered. For best estimates of new diagnoses for any specific year, one should refer to the annual Integrated HIV Epidemiologic Profile which is published approximately one year after the HIV Annual Surveillance Summary report. Technical Notes In 2014, CDC and CSTE revised and combined the case definition for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection into a single case definition for persons of all ages (i.e., adults and adolescents aged ≥ 13 years and children aged < 13 years). The case definition is the criterion that is used to determine whether a report of a particular disease is counted as an official case of that particular condition. The revisions were made primarily to address changes in laboratory diagnostic technology. Laboratory criteria for defining a confirmed case now accommodates new multi-test algorithms, including criteria for differentiating between HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection, as well as for recognizing early HIV infection. (MMWR April 11, 2014). This document utilizes both the 2008 and 2014 case definitions. Data from 2013 and prior are classified based upon the 2008 case definition and all data for 2014 and later were classified based upon the revised 2014 case definition. The most important change to note is the staging; which is as follows: Stage 0, 1, 2, 3. Stages 0 thru 2 are HIV and Stage 3 is AIDS. HIV disease is the all-inclusive category of HIV and AIDS (Stages 0-3) regardless of disease progression. For more details on these changes, please visit: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr6303a1.htm.

Stage 3 (AIDS) New Cases is defined as the number of new AIDS cases reported during the period specified. This includes persons originally diagnosed HIV (stages 0, 1 or 2), and progressed to AIDS sometime during the year. It also includes those reported as HIV (stages 0, 1 or 2) in a previous year that progressed to AIDS in the specified year. Please note that a case is counted only once during a year even if the diagnostic status progresses from HIV to AIDS. Once the status of a case progress to AIDS it remains, and is never reclassified as HIV. Only one stage 3 (AIDS) and HIV category applies to an individual within a single year. HIV New Cases is defined as the number of new HIV (stages 0, 1 or 2) cases reported during the period specified.
HIV Disease New Cases is defined as the sum of new HIV and new AIDS cases reported during the period specified. Within each year, each case is only shown once (can be either an HIV (stages 0,1 or 2) case or a stage 3 (AIDS) case).
