Observations
Although chlamydia in women is a widely distributed STD among all
racial and ethnic groups, trends in positivity in women screened in
HHS Region X show consistently higher chlamydia positivity among
minorities (Figure W).
In 2003, the rate of chlamydia among African-American females in the
United States was more than 7 times higher than the rate among white
females (1,633.1 and 217.9 per 100,000, respectively) (Table 11B). The
chlamydia rate among African-American males was 11 times higher than
that among white males (584.2 and 52.9 per 100,000 respectively).
In 2003, chlamydia positivity among ***ually active 15- to 30-year-old
women screened at clinics of the Indian Health Service (IHS) in two
IHS areas was 11.0% (Figure X).
In 2003, 70.7% of the total number of cases of gonorrhea re****ted to
CDC occurred among African-Americans (Table 21A). In 2003, the rate of
gonorrhea among African-Americans was 655.8 cases per 100,000
population, among American Indian/Alaska Natives the rate was 103.5,
and among Hispanics the rate was 71.7. These rates are 20, 3, and 2
times higher, respectively, than the rate among whites in 2003 of 32.7
cases per 100,000 population. The rate of gonorrhea among
Asian/Pacific Islanders in 2003 was 22.8 cases per 100,000 population
(Figure 16, Table 21B).
Gonorrhea rates in 2003 were highest for African-Americans aged 15-24
years among all racial, ethnic, and age categories. In 2003,
African-American women aged 15-19 years had a gonorrhea rate of
2,947.8 cases per 100,000 females. This rate is 14 times greater than
the 2003 rate among white females of similar age (204.8).
African-American men in the 15- to 19-year-old age category had a 2003
gonorrhea rate of 1,464.1 cases per 100,000 males, which was 39 times
higher than the rate among 15- to 19-year-old white males of 37.7 per
100,000. Among 20- to 24-year-olds in 2003, the gonorrhea rate among
African-Americans was 18 times greater than that among whites (2,683.1
and 152.0 cases per 100,000 population, respectively) (Table 21B).
Although gonorrhea rates declined for most age and race/ethnic groups
during the 1980s, they did not decline for African-American
adolescents. African-American females 15 to 19 years of age did not
show a decline in rates until 1991 (Figure Y). Declines among
African-American males aged 15-19 years did not begin until 1992
(Figure Z). From 1999 through 2003, gonorrhea rates among
African-Americans declined by 18.9% (808.4 and 655.8 cases per 100,000
population, respectively). During the same period, gonorrhea rates
increased by 22.5% among whites, 17.5% among Asian/Pacific Islanders,
11% among Hispanics, and 5.5% among American Indian/Alaska Natives
(Table 21B).
The syphilis epidemic in the late 1980s occurred primarily among
hetero***ual, minority populations.1 During the 1990s, the rate of
primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis declined among all racial and
ethnic groups (Figure 30). During 2000-2003, the rate continued to
decline among African-Americans, but the overall rate of P&S syphilis
and rates among non-Hispanic whites, Hispanics, Asian/Pacific
Islanders, and American Indian/Alaska Natives increased; increases in
P&S syphilis occurred only among men and the most rapid rate of
increase occurred among non-Hispanic white men during this time (Table
34B). Despite recent changes in the demographics of syphilis
infection, the rates of P&S syphilis continue to be higher among
African-Americans and Hispanics than among non-Hispanic whites.
In 2003, 39.2% of all cases of P&S syphilis re****ted to CDC occurred
among African-Americans and 41.9% of all cases occurred among
non-Hispanic whites (Table 34A). Although the rate of P&S syphilis
among African-Americans declined from 9.5 to 7.8 cases per 100,000
population between 2002 and 2003, the 2003 rate was 5.2 times greater
than the rate among non-Hispanic whites (1.5 cases per 100,000
population).
The incidence of P&S syphilis among African-Americans was highest
among women aged 20-24 years (11.1 cases per 100,000 population) and
among men aged 35 to 39 (25.7 cases per 100,000 population) in 2003
(Table 34B).
Between 2002 and 2003, P&S syphilis rates for African-Americans aged
15-19 years declined 18.1%; rates declined 31.8% among
African-American females but increased 3.4% among African-American
males in this age group (Figures AA and BB, Table 34B). The P&S
syphilis rate among young African-American adults aged 20-24 years
declined 13.7% between 2002 and 2003; rates declined 30.6% among
African-American females and 1.4% among African-American males in this
age group (Table 34B).
In 2003, 16.2% of all cases of P&S syphilis re****ted to CDC occurred
among Hispanics (Table 34A). The rate of P&S syphilis among Hispanics
increased 20.0% (from 2.5 to 3.0 cases per 100,000 population) between
2002 and 2003. The rate among Hispanics in 2003 was 2.0 times greater
than the rate among non-Hispanic whites.
The incidence of P&S syphilis among Hispanics was highest among women
aged 15- to 24-years (2.3 cases per 100,000 population) and among men
aged 35 to 39 (12.7 cases per 100,000 population) in 2003 (Table 34B).
In 2003, the rate of congenital syphilis (based on the mother's
race/ethnicity) was 33.9 cases per 100,000 live births among
African-Americans and 18.1 cases per 100,000 live births among
Hispanics. These rates are 26 and 14 times greater, respectively than
the 2003 rate among non-Hispanic whites (1.3 cases per 100,000 live
births), respectively (Figure CC, Table 44).
