New Resources Added to the CDC HIV Web Site

HIV & AIDS in the United States. Information From the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention

The following resources were recently added to the CDC HIV Web site:
HIV and Coinfections
People with HIV in the United States are at increased risk of developing chronic viral hepatitis and liver disease. This means they could have a coinfection, or two or more infections at the same time.

CDC Vital Signs. Ending HIV Transmission
About 38,000 new HIV infections still occur each year. The US Government recently proposed Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America to reduce HIV transmission. The goal is to reduce new HIV infections by 90% by 2030.

Vital Signs: Status of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Testing, Viral Suppression, and HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis - United States, 2013-2018
Approximately 38,000 new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections occur in the United States each year; these infections can be prevented. A proposed national initiative, Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America, incorporates three strategies (diagnose, treat, and prevent HIV infection) and seeks to leverage testing, treatment, and preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to reduce new HIV infections in the United States by at least 90% by 2030.

Status of HIV Case-Based Surveillance Implementation - 39 U.S. PEPFAR-Supported Countries, May-July 2019
Among 39 surveyed countries supported by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, 20 had implemented case-based surveillance, 15 were planning implementation, and four were not planning implementation. Challenges for most countries, particularly those in sub-Saharan Africa, include need for unique identifiers to link data across systems, supportive national policy environments, and data security standards. Enhanced efforts are needed to address policy barriers and gaps in technical infrastructure to implement comprehensive HIV case-based surveillance that can inform national response to the HIV epidemic.

Updated Basic Statistics
HIV and AIDS remain a persistent problem for the United States and countries around the world. While great progress has been made in preventing and treating HIV, there is still much to do. The questions in this section provide a broad overview of the effects of HIV and AIDS in the United States and globally.

2018 Preliminary Edition, Volume 30: Diagnoses of HIV Infection in the United States and Dependent Areas, 2018
This issue of the HIV Surveillance Report presents and interprets trends in diagnoses for 2013–2017 and provides preliminary data, based on a 6-month reporting delay, for 2018.

Slide set: Epidemiology of HIV Infection 2018 (preliminary)
This slide set highlights diagnoses data on adults and adolescents in the United States and 6 dependent areas.

Slide set: Maps Based on Data from 2018 HIV Surveillance Report (preliminary)
