American Profile of the Epidemic: HIV/AIDS State Fact Sheets2004 AIDS Action's State Fact Sheets are a unique informational tool. The data they contain are provided to enable constituents, government affairs and policy professionals, and lawmakers to see how each U.S. state and territory* is being affected by the epidemic and how the federal government is responding. There is also a State Fact Sheet for the United States which gives you the national picture. Compiled by our government affairs staff, the State Fact Sheets contain both quantitative and qualitative information and cover the following areas: HIV and AIDS caseload numbers, the demographics of people living with HIV, the federal funding provided for HIV programs and services, surveillance and reporting practices, and government leadership. * Due to certain state or jurisdiction-level data not being available, fact sheets for the following jurisdictions are still being updated: Mississippi, Pacific Islands, and Virgin Islands.
