June 27 is National HIV Testing Day- Annual County & State Data Lauch

To commemorate National HIV Testing Day, AIDSVu released the annual update of its interactive maps and data at the county- and state-levels this morning, illustrating the impact of HIV across the United States and continuing its commitment to provide public health officials, policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and community leaders with a more comprehensive view of the HIV epidemic. We ask for your support in sharing this valuable information with your colleagues and networks. Below you’ll find the formal eBlast announcement for easy sharing.

Our annual update includes:
  • Updated state- and county-level data showing HIV prevalence (2016) and new HIV diagnoses (year-over-year for 2008 to 2017);
  • Updated mortality data at the state-level, showing rates and number of deaths that occurred among people with diagnosed HIV (2016);
  • Updated state-level PrEP rates and users data (2018), which can be stratified by age and sex, as well be compared to social determinants of health data;
  • Enhanced state local data profiles including new diagnoses and HIV care continuum data; and
  • Enhanced HIV prevention, testing, and Ryan White care services, as well as locations of housing opportunities for persons with AIDS and NIH-funded HIV prevention, vaccine, and treatment trial locations.
