Question

I live in Pennsylvania...

Do some research on the incidence and prevalence of AIDS in your city or state. Now look up the corresponding morbidity and mortality rates. How do those rates compare to the rates in other cities or states? What might account for any differences in rates from one place to another? Explain in depth.

Answer 1

Before going to research topic,we need to understand some terms.,which includes,incidence,prevalence,morbidity and mortality.

1. Incidence:the occurance/rate/frequency of a disease ,crime, or other undesirable thing.

                                                    or

         measurement of the number of new individuals who contact a disease during a particular period of time.

         2.prevalence: is a measurement of all individuals affected by the disease at a particular time period.

        3.morbidity: a diseased state.

         4.mortality: death rate / a state of being subject to death.

TOTAL PEOPLE AFFECTED : 60,607

IN PENNSYLVANIA-considering the last 3 years from 2014-2016,because the resource is updated only upto 2016year.

IN 2014,

the prevalence rate are the following

no.of people living with diagnosed HIV	rate of people living with dignosed HIV/10000	men and women with HIV in %	black people with HIV /hispanic/latino/white
33,593	309	71 and 29 respectively	48,16,30,30 percentages respectively

incidences

in 2015-1170

per 10,000 people: 11 people are newly diagnosed

IN 2016

newly diagnosed: 991

MORTALITY RATE

in 2014- 620

rate of deathsof people diagnosed per 100000- 6 people

THERE ARE MANY CLASSIFICATIONS TO STUDY THE MORBDITY AND MORTALITY.

As a whole comparison,

if we take the comparison between pennsylvania and united states. 3% difference for the newly diagnosed HIV

The statistics as %

76.4% diagnosed with AIDS In united states at the same time 26% in pennsylvania, on the other hand the death rate is 23.6% and 26% respectively.

The spread occur by sexual contact,by sharing needle .The percentage is much higher when comparing to these.so the transmission percentage is differ as per the source they will get.
