The latest Web site updates, as well as information on CDC’s HIV prevention science, programs, and policies:
Hispanic/Latino gay, bisexual, and other men who reported male-to-male sexual contact are severely affected by HIV. In 2018, Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men made up 21% of the 37,968 new HIV diagnoses in the United States (US) and dependent areas. HIV diagnoses have remained stable in recent years among Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men overall.
The Toolkit for Providing HIV Prevention Services to Transgender Women of Color is a technical assistance guide that community-based organizations (CBOs) and similar organizations can use to support their HIV prevention services for transgender women of color (WOC).
Partner services is a key strategy for identifying persons with HIV—those undiagnosed and those previously diagnosed who are not receiving HIV medical care—and helping them access care and treatment. All persons with newly diagnosed HIV should receive partner services to help them identify sex and needle-sharing partners who may also be infected or may be at very high-risk for becoming infected. This report summarizes the 2018 client-level partner services data submitted by CDC-funded jurisdictions in the United States and two dependent areas (i.e., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands).
Men who have sex with men (MSM) account for two thirds of annual diagnoses of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Increased linkage to care and viral suppression among MSM with HIV infection can prevent transmission. During 2014–2018, diagnoses of HIV infection among MSM in 33 jurisdictions decreased 2.3% per year overall, but Black, Hispanic/Latino, and younger (aged 13–19 years) MSM experienced a small or no decrease. Linkage to care within 1 month and viral suppression within 6 months of diagnosis increased overall (2.9% and 6.8% per year, respectively) and among all racial/ethnic groups. Intensified prevention efforts for Black, Hispanic/Latino, and younger MSM are needed.
The slides in this series are based on data compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics from death certificates of US residents in the 50 states and the District of Columbia---focusing on deaths with HIV infection as the underlying cause (including stage 3 AIDS)---for the years 1987-2018.
The purpose of this program is to implement comprehensive HIV prevention programs to reduce morbidity, mortality, and related health disparities in accordance with the Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative: A Plan for America and CDC’s High-Impact HIV Prevention approach.
Gay, bisexual, and other men who reported male-to-male sexual contact are the population most affected by HIV in the United States. In 2018, gay and bisexual men made up 69% of the 37,968 new HIV diagnoses in the United States (US) and dependent areas. Approximately 492,000 sexually active gay and bisexual men are at high risk for HIV; however, we have more tools to prevent HIV than ever before.
In 2018, over half (51%) of people in the United States (US) and dependent areasa with diagnosed HIV were aged 50 and older. Though new HIV diagnosesb are declining among people aged 50 and older, around 1 in 6 HIV diagnoses in 2018 were in this group. People aged 50 and older with diagnosed HIV are living longer, healthier lives because of effective HIV treatment.
The YRBSS was developed in 1990 to monitor health behaviors that contribute markedly to the leading causes of death, disability, and social problems among youth and adults in the United States.
