Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • New York City accounts for a disproportionately high percentage of AIDS cases in the U.S.
  • Understanding HIV/AIDS trends is critical for public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends in HIV/AIDS mortality in New York City from 1983 to 1998.
  • To assess the impact of new antiretroviral therapies on HIV/AIDS outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Observational study utilizing New York City's vital events and AIDS case surveillance registries.
  • Analysis of HIV/AIDS mortality data from 1983 through June 30, 1998.

Main Results:

  • HIV/AIDS deaths peaked in 1995, then declined sharply by 63% by 1997.

  • Mortality declines were observed across all demographic groups and transmission categories.
  • An increase in the number of people living with AIDS was noted from 1995 to 1998.

    • Conclusions:

    • The widespread availability of effective antiretroviral therapies correlated with the significant decline in HIV/AIDS deaths.
    • A slowing of the mortality decline in 1998 suggests that while therapies are effective, AIDS-related deaths will persist.
