HIV/STI Data

This dashboard includes Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) related indicators from the Ohio Department of Health that are available on Healthy Northeast Ohio (Age-Adjusted Death Rate due to HIV; Chlamydia Incidence Rate; Gonorrhea Incidence Rate; HIV/AIDS Prevalence Rate). This data is available at the state, region, and county levels. Please scroll down to view these indicators.

Additionally, this dashboard includes the HIV/STI Dashboard Region 3 that was developed by the Epidemiology, Surveillance and Informatics (ESI) Service Area in conjunction with the Ryan White Part A, Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE), and HIV Prevention programs at the Cuyahoga County Board of Health (CCBH). The HIV/STI Dashboard Region 3 provides visualizations of HIV/STI epidemiological data and HIV care continuum data for Region 3/Cleveland Transitional Grant Area (TGA) including Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain and Medina counties. Please note that the data for Ashland (Region 2), Portage, and Summit (Region 4) counties is monitored under their respective health departments that receive separate HIV/STI funding, different from CCBH. Each region is defined by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH). To read more about the HIV/STI Dashboard Region 3 click here.

Please note that there may be slight differences in the Chlamydia and Gonorrhea incidence rates presented in the HIV/STI Dashboard Region 3 vs. the Healthy Northeast Ohio indicators found below. This is due to differences in the population estimates used to calculate these rates (e.g., ACS 5-year vs. 1-year estimates).

Priority Populations (click here to expand)

These populations experience the highest number of new HIV/STI diagnoses per year, and exhibit worse outcomes along the HIV/STI care continuum in our region.

HIV & Syphilis

Cuyahoga County:

Men who report male-to-male sexual contact (MSM)
Black and Hispanic MSM
Residents under the age of 30

Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, Lorain & Medina Counties:

White males under the age of 30

Chlamydia & Gonorrhea

Cuyahoga County:

Females between the ages of 18-29
In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of infections in those under 18 years of age.

Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, Lorain & Medina Counties:

White females ages 18-20

Factors Affecting Priority Populations (click here to expand)

These are factors that affect the overall health and well-being of populations that are at the highest risk for HIV and STI:

Discrimination
Homophobia
Racism
Stigma

Social & Structural Barriers to Health (click here to expand)

These are factors that directly and indirectly increase the risk for HIV and STI:

Poverty
Limited access to quality health care
Lack of education about preventing HIV and STI
Housing issues

Addressing these social and structural barriers to optimal health, and encouraging safe and supportive communities, can help improve health outcomes for populations at highest risk. More information about how social determinants of health affect HIV and STI can be found here:

Red is bad, green is good, blue is not statistically different/neutral.

Compared to Distribution

an indicator guage with the arrow in the green the value is in the best half of communities.

an indicator guage with the arrow in the yellow the value is in the 2nd worst quarter of communities.

an indicator guage with the arrow in the red the value is in the worst quarter of communities.

Compared to Target

green circle with white tick inside it meets target; red circle with white cross inside it does not meet target.

Compared to a Single Value

green diamond with downward arrow inside it lower than the comparison value; red diamond with downward arrow inside it higher than the comparison value; blue diamond with downward arrow inside it not statistically different from comparison value.
