Abstract
The recent shift in HIV/AIDS incidence due to underreporting requires a shift in the way the disease is monitored and funding is analyzed, evaluated and allocated in order to acquire an economic advantage over the epidemic at the federal, state and local levels. This project will investigate the relationships between demographic morbidity cases and funding of HIV/AIDS in the state of Texas during the years 2002 - 2006. Mode of exposure will be stressed in this study. Accordingly, the analysis will test whether specific demographic variables are associated with funding level for the same period in an effort to provide information about which individuals may be targeted across the state of Texas for emergency funding and prevention services.
