This Week in MMWR

February 2, 2007 / Vol. 56 / No. 4

HIV/AIDS Diagnoses Among Blacks
Florida, 1999--2004

This report describes trends in diagnoses of HIV/AIDS cases that occurred among blacks in Florida during 1999--2004. During this period, the annual rate of HIV/AIDS diagnosis among blacks decreased more than the rates among other racial/ethnic groups. Further investigation revealed that gonorrhea diagnosis rates also decreased among blacks in Florida during this period, whereas HIV testing rates increased. These findings suggest that the decline in HIV/AIDS diagnoses in blacks might be associated with a decrease in high-risk sexual behavior and that the decline was not the result of less testing.
