2021 HIV Surveillance Report
|
|
The 2021 HIV Surveillance report has been released. As of December 31, 2020, 731 South Dakotans were living with a HIV diagnosis. 96% of HIV positive individuals have received HIV care (compared to 88% in 2020) and 88% have been prescribed HIV medications (compared to 80% in 2020). Studies have shown that HIV positive individuals who take their medications as prescribed can reach an “undetectable” viral load and are now considered virally suppressed. This means that the amount of virus in their blood is so low that they have no risk of transmitting HIV to their negative sex partners. 74% of HIV positive South Dakotans are virally suppressed, which has increased substantially (from 59% in 2020).

The All Women Count! Program: Eligibility and Reach
|
|
 Early detection of breast cancer increases the likelihood of treatment success and improves prognosis and survival. Barriers to the access of early detection and effective breast healthcare services include socioeconomic status, transportation, and lack of health insurance. Aiming for early detection and reduction in mortality rates among the most vulnerable populations (low income, uninsured, and underinsured), the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) was created in response to the Breast and Cervical Cancer Mortality Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-354). Since 1997, the NBCCEDP has provided funding for the All Women Count! (AWC!) Program in South Dakota (SD). The program provides breast and cervical cancer screening services at no cost to underserved women. The AWC! program works with over 200 provider sites across South Dakota. Breast and cervical cancer screenings are offered to women 30-64 years old. Women younger than 40 years old require prior authorization for mammograms. Additional eligibility criteria include being uninsured or underinsured and family income at or below the 200% federal poverty level.
THIS ARTICLE presents trends in breast cancer mortality in South Dakota, the number of women eligible for an AWC! breast cancer service, and the reach of the AWC! program in 2019.
