FIGURE 1—

Annual age-adjusted HIV death rates and joinpoint trend lines for American Indian/Alaska Native and White people: Contract Health Service Delivery Area counties, United States, 1990–2009.

Note. AI/AN = American Indian/Alaska Native; IHS = Indian Health Service. Analyses are limited to people of non-Hispanic origin. The following states and years of data were excluded because Hispanic origin was not collected on the death certificate: LA, 1990; NH, 1990–1992; OK, 1990–1996. AI/AN race was reported from death certificates or through linkage with the IHS patient registration database. Rates are per 100 000 people and were age adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (11 age groups; Census P25-1130²⁰).
