Epidemiological Profiles

The Epidemiologic Profiles of HIV Disease and STDs in Missouri are annual reports intended to be a comprehensive summary of the epidemiology (i.e., incidence and prevalence being the most important) of HIV Disease and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs, specifically the bacterial STDs: gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia) in Missouri. The reports are available beginning with the year 2000.

The primary audience is persons engaged in developing, evaluating, and modifying HIV/STD prevention services. The 2003 Epidemiologic Profiles report should also serve as a useful reference for anyone wishing to understand the epidemiology of HIV disease and STDs in Missouri, and in each of the state’s six HIV Regions.
