    Haiti had minimal defense against this epidemic due to being one of the poorest nations with limited healthcare. Haiti has the highest adult HIV occurrence and the rate is 2.2% twice the level of the Dominican Republic. The rate of HIV progression was twice as high due to problems such as poor nutrition, high prevalence of community-acquired infections, and high rates of active TB. There was an increase in sexual violence against women and gang rape. HIV spread rapidly in Haiti with women as the epidemic started. “Since 1985, heterosexual intercourse has been the dominant mode of transmission, as the blood supply was protected early in the epidemic, and intravenous drug use in Haiti is rare, and has never been a significant risk factor for HIV/AIDS. As the epidemic became generalized, an increasing proportion of cases have been female” (Koenig, et al., 2010). Elevated HIV rates were reported for young women compared to those from 13-24 years of age (Malow, Rosenberg, Lichtenstein, & Dévieux, 2010). There is an estimated HIV prevalence among adults from 15-49 and 7,400 estimated AIDS related deaths from adults fifteen and up. In 2015, there were an estimated 68,849 adults living with HIV receiving antiretroviral treatment (Center of Disease Control and Prevention,…

    The increasingly epidemic of HIV/AIDS has taken a toll on African American women and girls in the U. S. There are about 40,000 new infection cases every year with 1,200,000 individuals living with HIV/AIDS worldwide 300,000 which are women. Unfortunately, there is a huge portion of African American women and girls who are infected and are not receiving treatment, mainly because they are not aware of being infected (The Kaiser Family Foundation, 2007).

According to a surveillance report conducted by Dr. Harold Jaffe heterosexual activities account for 43% of the diagnoses in 2005, heterosexual transmission has risen from 3% in 1985 to 31% in 2005.
