Robust Features Available with Atlas

The Atlas enables users to identify areas of the United States and U.S. territories that are most affected by HIV, AIDS, STDs, viral hepatitis, and tuberculosis (TB). Public health professionals can access the information in more efficient and impactful ways that will help them better tailor resources and interventions to meet the needs of those in the areas hardest hit. Atlas users can also easily toggle between cases and rates; identify disparities by race/ethnicity, sex, and age; access pre-developed queries suggested by CDC’s scientific staff; and access links for more information.

The NCHHSTP Atlas is an interactive tool for accessing HIV, AIDS, viral hepatitis, tuberculosis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and primary and secondary syphilis data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP).

With the NCHHSTP Atlas, users can also:

  • Create maps, tables, and bar graphs
  • Explore a variety of data stratifications
  • Display data trends over time and across the United States
  • Download and export data and graphics
  • Query data for ad hoc customizable reports
  • Receive detailed and complete information on surveillance data footnotes and caveats

CDC’s Atlas team is always working to improve this important tool. A dashboard and additional graphics as well as more data will be added in the future, including census socioeconomic data, and HIV and STD testing data.

New data coming!

NCHHSTP Atlas County-level HIV and STD data will be released on September 17, 2013.
