Reduce the Burden <strong>of</strong> HIV, STD,<br />

and Viral Hepatitis in <strong>Indiana</strong><br />

The majority <strong>of</strong> PLWHA are in their middle ages, ranging from 40 to 49<br />

years <strong>of</strong> age. Around a third <strong>of</strong> all PLWHA are Black (34.8%), while about<br />

five out <strong>of</strong> ten people with HIV/AIDS are White (55.5%). Based on the<br />

smaller number <strong>of</strong> Blacks in the general population, the prevalence rate <strong>of</strong><br />

Blacks (579.8/100,000) is exceeding the rate <strong>of</strong> the Hispanics<br />

(201.1/100,000) and Whites (95.3/100,000). HIV/AIDS continues to affect<br />

Black males disproportionably more than their White counterparts.<br />

The HIV, STD, Viral Hepatitis portion <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />

<strong>Improvement</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> outlines overarching Division goals and objectives over<br />

the next five years. It is anticipated that these goals will become more<br />

refined as the Division‘s Strategic <strong>Plan</strong> is developed in response to the<br />

President‘s National HIV/AIDS Strategy.<br />
