Mortality by Race/Ethnicity:

Figure 1.15 shows the death rate (due to any cause) per 100,000 population by race/ethnicity for deaths occurring between 2005 and 2014. Since the beginning of the epidemic, 3,318 Whites, 238 Blacks, 1,075 Hispanics, and 87 API diagnosed with HIV disease have died.

 Death rates among all racial/ethnic groups except API have declined since 2005.  Black PLWHD consistently had the highest death rates among all race/ethnicities in Orange County. Due to the

small number of Black cases diagnosed each year, case rates in this community can appear to shift significantly from year to year.

 Hispanics had the second highest death among all race/ethnicities.  Whites had the third highest death rates between 2005 and 2011. In 2012 and 2013 APIs had a higher death

rate. In 2014, Whites were third, APIs fourth.
