People Living with HIV

What does this measure?

The number of people living with HIV, per 100,000 residents.

Why is this important?

HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is a serious though preventable infection that has a disproportionate impact on ethnic and racial minorities. Although there is no cure, new treatments are helping people with HIV live longer. Still, these treatment regimens are complex, cause serious side effects, and become ineffective as HIV mutates.

How is the region performing?

In 2021, there were 103 people living with HIV per 100,000 residents in the Mid-Hudson Valley region, slightly higher than the state (excluding NYC) rate of 91. The rate increased by 2% in the region since 2002. Greene had the highest rate per 100,000 residents (157), followed by Columbia (152). Putnam and Orange counties had the lowest rates (72 and 90 respectively).

Notes about the data

Figures do not include prisoners, as counts with prisoners increased rates dramatically for counties with correctional facilities. Data for this indicator are expected to be released in the fourth quarter, with a two-year delay.
