Miami-Dade County's surveillance data allows the Miami-Dade Partnership to develop profiles of the specific risk factors within each of the 10 zones (neighborhoods) within Miami-Dade County. (See Miami-Dade County Map by Zone)
The data included for each zone represents the cumulative number
of reported adult AIDS cases (since 1980, N=30,324) and the
cumulative number of reported adult HIV cases (since July 1997,
N=10,816) up to December 31st 2006.
For illustration purposes, we have highlighted the risk factors within the different zones in Miami-Dade County. Our Prevention plan will give priority to the zones with the highest concentration of HIV and AIDS cases.
