The latest Web site updates, as well as information on CDC’s HIV/AIDS prevention science, programs, and policies:
MMP is a cross-sectional, nationally representative, complex sample survey that assesses the behavioral and clinical characteristics of adults with diagnosed HIV infection in the United States. MMP also provides information on behaviors and clinical outcomes affecting risk of HIV transmission, morbidity, and mortality that are critical for achieving the goals of the Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America initiative, which seeks to reduce new HIV infections in the United States by 90% by 2030.
CDC collects data to monitor progress toward achieving national goals and the objectives set forth in other federal directives, including the updated strategic plan of the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention. This surveillance supplemental report complements the 2018 HIV Surveillance Report and presents the results of focused analyses of National HIV Surveillance System data to measure progress toward achieving national goals.
This slide presents selected national HIV prevention and care outcomes used to gauge progress towards national HIV prevention and care goals and direct resources, monitor steps required from the time a person receives an HIV diagnosis to achieving viral suppression using data from the National HIV Surveillance System, and Monitor persons classified as having been prescribed PrEP relative to the estimated number of persons with indications for PrEP coverage.
Between 2014 and 2018 the Asian population in the US grew around 10%, which is more than three times as fast as the total US population. During the same period, in the US and dependent areas, the number of Asians receiving an HIV diagnosis remained stable, driven primarily by HIV diagnoses among Asian gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men remaining stable. Asians, who make up 6% of the population, accounted for about 2% of HIV diagnoses in 2018 in the US and dependent areas.
Although NHOPI account for a very small percentage of new HIV diagnoses in the US and dependent areas, HIV affects NHOPI in ways that are not always apparent because of their small population size. In 2018, NHOPI made up 0.2% of the US population.
CDC understands that its partners in HIV prevention are facing unprecedented challenges and demands as we continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic together. While some clinics and HIV prevention providers have adapted to changing circumstances by offering expanded phone triage and telehealth services, other clinics that provide pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services have had to reduce hours, eliminate or reallocate staff resources, or temporarily close. CDC has developed guidance for providing PrEP when facility-based services and in-person patient-clinician contact is limited.
CDC has published two new reports: Diagnoses of HIV Infection in the United States and Dependent Areas, 2018 (Updated) and Estimated HIV Incidence and Prevalence in the United States 2014–2018, as well as an AtlasPlus update that includes data from these reports. The reports and AtlasPlus update provide HIV diagnoses, diagnosed prevalence, and death data, along with estimated HIV incidence, prevalence, and knowledge of status through the year 2018. HIV prevention partners can use these reports, along with the data published in AtlasPlus, to help focus prevention efforts, allocate resources, monitor trends, and determine gaps and successes in HIV prevention.
Numbers and rates of diagnoses of HIV infection during 2014–2018 are based on data from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 6 U.S. dependent areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the Republic of Palau, and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
Estimates of HIV incidence, prevalence, and percentage of diagnosed infections among persons living with HIV are essential to determining whether prevention program efforts are reducing the annual number of new HIV infections and achieving prevention outcomes.
This slide presents estimated HIV incidence among persons >13 years in the United States from 2010 through 2018, by sex at birth.
