HIV MORTALITY RATES IN MEN 2016
HIV mortality rate data is one of the essentials for the practise of public health in the
united states. The data is ideally used to develop responsive programs to the health needs of
the communities living across the united states cities (Kenyon, Colebunders, Voeten & Lurie,
2013). The public health agencies in the united states are responsible for collecting data on
health problems such as HIV and provide the opportunities for such data to be available
publicly. The number of Men mortality as a result of HIV in the united states has relatively
remained stable over the year. Kenyon, Colebunders, Voeten & Lurie, 2013 further states that
the number of victims living with HIV/AIDS in the United States across the cities is expected
to increase. The epidemic is one of the leading causes of death among the races/ethnicities
specifically African Americans and Latinos.
The United States office of National AIDS policy which is responsible for releasing
National HIV/AIDS strategy needs the HIV mortality data in order to heighten awareness,
evaluate the prevention methods and systematically address HIV epidemic. The HIV related
mortality rates in the United States is still high across all the ethnic groups living in all the
cities. There is increased coordination among all the stakeholders in the health sectors to
achieve the following goals by 2020: reduce the number of people infected with HIV,
increase access to care and optimize health outcomes of people living with HIV, and reduce
HIV-related health disparities (Kenyon, Colebunders, Voeten & Lurie, 2013).
The comparison of the HIV mortality rates among men across the 8 United states
Cities as per the year 2016 reveals that Washington city records the highest number of HIV
related mortality rates while San Diego has the lowest. The statistical data shows that Kansas
City is second lowest affected by the HIV related mortality rates while Oakland is the highest
affected city in the united states. The mortality rates in men is evenly distributed across all

the ethnic divide but Latinos and African Americans as per the year 2016 had high mortality
rates.
Currently, the number of people living with HIV in the United States is approximately
1.1 million. The year 2016 recorded an estimated 38,700 new HIV infections across the
cities. The number of infections among Men is high due to the LGBT community who
account for about 70 per cent of the new infections across the American cities. Men bear the
greatest burden of the infection. According to CDC there has been a decline in the HIV
infections as a result of the effective treatment and prevention reaching adequately those who
need it. The rural south still presents some gaps in the fight for HIV prevention. The gap
remains because the dominant population of the south is made of Latinos and black
Americans (Dailey, Johnson & Wu, 2017).

The number of the new diagnosis remained stable in the year 2016. Some ethic groups
have also increased the value per 100000 people. The data from the graph has value in terms
of planning for preventive measures for people living with HIV/AIDS. Compared to the

previous years the data the annual infections in 2016 has decreased among ethnic groups
African Americans, whites, and multiple races. However, it has remained stable for Hispanics
and Asians. When the data is analysed by the race the general trend shows that the infections
among females decreased but for males it has remained stable (Dailey, Johnson & Wu, 2017).
The annual HIV related mortality rates decrease as shown in the dataset is attributed
to the injection drug use. The rate of mortality remained stable among men. According to a
plan dubbed ending the HIV epidemic announced by the state union. There are some
operational policies that have been instituted to deal with the high mortality rates. Some of
the strategies include: early diagnosis of the individuals that are affected, effectively
sustaining viral suppression, using the risk proven approaches, preventing and respond to the
growing HIV clusters and prevent new infections. These proposed policies are designed to
rapidly used in the cities of Washington, Kansas, Denver, Oakland, Philadelphia, Phoenix,
Minneapolis and San Diego and other areas with disproportionate rural HIV burden. The goal
is to reduce new HIV infections by 90 percent over 10 years.
