High prevalences of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been reported in the current global monkeypox outbreak, which has affected primarily gay, bisexual, men who sex with (MSM) (1-5). In previous outbreaks Nigeria, concurrent infection was associated poor clinical outcomes (6,7). Monkeypox, HIV, STI surveillance data from eight U.S. jurisdictions* were matched analyzed to examine diagnoses among persons assess differences features according status. Among 1,969 during...
HIV testing is a core strategy for the Ending Epidemic in U.S. (EHE) initiative, which has aim of reducing new infections by at least 90% 2030.* During 2016-2017, jurisdictions with highest diagnosis rates were those higher prevalences testing; past-year was among persons who reported recent risk behaviors compared did not report these risks (1). 2020-2021, COVID-19 pandemic disrupted health care delivery, including part because many avoided services to comply mitigation efforts (2). In...
Persons unaware of their human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection account for approximately 40% ongoing transmissions in the United States. are because delayed HIV diagnoses that represent substantial missed opportunities to improve health outcomes and prevent transmission.Data from CDC's National Surveillance System were used estimate, among persons with diagnosed 2015, median interval (and range) diagnosis (diagnosis delay), based on first CD4 test after a depletion model indicating...
During 2018, Black or African American (Black) persons accounted for 43% of all new diagnoses HIV infection in the United States (1).The annual diagnosis rate (39.2 per 100,000 persons) among was four times other racial/ethnic groups combined, indicating a profound disparity (1,2).Community-level social and structural factors, such as vulnerability, might help explain higher persons.Social vulnerability refers to potential negative health effects on communities caused by external stresses...
Since the release of National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) (1) and establishment federal Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Care Continuum Initiative (2), efforts have accelerated to improve increase HIV testing, care, treatment reduce HIV-related disparities in United States. Surveillance System (NHSS)* data are used monitor progress toward reaching NHAS goals,† recent indicate that blacks lower levels care viral suppression than do persons other racial ethnic groups (3). Among with infection...
National Latino AIDS Awareness Day is observed each year on October 15 to focus attention the continuing disproportionate impact of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired syndrome (AIDS) Hispanic or population in United States.As July 2015, Hispanics Latinos was estimated at 56.6 million, approximately 18% U.S. (1).However, accounted for 24% all new HIV diagnoses (2).At end 2014, an 235,600 were living with States.In 38 jurisdictions complete reporting CD4 viral load data,...
During 2018, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with (MSM) accounted for 69.4% of all diagnoses human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in the United States (1). Moreover, 42 jurisdictions complete laboratory reporting CD4 viral load results,* percentages MSM linked to care within 1 month (80.8%) virally suppressed (viral <200 copies HIV RNA/mL or interpreted as undetected) 6 months (68.3%) diagnosis were below target during 2018 (2). African American/Black (Black),...
Social and structural factors, referred to as social determinants of health (SDH), create pathways or barriers equitable sexual health, information on these factors can provide critical insight into rates diseases such HIV. Our objectives were describe identify differences, by race/ethnicity geography, in SDH among adults with
Objective: To identify factors – including social determinants of health (SDOH) that explain racial/ethnic disparities in antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and sustained viral suppression (SVS) among U.S. men who have sex with (MSM) HIV. Design: We used weighted data from 2017–2021 cycles the Medical Monitoring Project. Methods: Among MSM taking ART, we calculated prevalence differences (PDs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) ART (100% adherence, past 30 days) SVS (all loads 12 months...
To examine associations between Index of Concentration at the Extremes (ICE) measures for economic and racial segregation HIV outcomes in United States (U.S.) Puerto Rico.
During 2018, Black or African American (Black) persons accounted for 43% of all diagnoses human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in the United States (1). Among with diagnosed HIV 41 states and District Columbia whom complete laboratory reporting* was available, percentages linked to care within 1 month diagnosis (77.1%) viral suppression 6 months (62.9%) during 2018 were lower than Ending Epidemic initiative objectives 95% linkage goals (2).

With significant improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of HIV, number people with HIV United States steadily increases. Monitoring trends HIV-related care outcomes is needed to inform programs aimed at reducing new infections States.
In 2021, there were an estimated 153 500 persons aged at least 13 years with undiagnosed HIV infection. Estimated rates among Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and White used to assess disparity trends from 2017 2021. Rates decreased across two absolute relative measures. Despite these declines, Black Hispanic had 8.3 4.2 times the rate of in Increased testing innovative efforts are needed address HIV-related disparities.
Objective: Assessing mobility among people with HIV is an important consideration when measuring incidence, prevalence, and the care continuum in United States. Our aims were to measure compared general population examine factors associated migration HIV. Methods: We calculated state-to-state move-in move-out rates for 2011 through 2019 using National Surveillance System data US Census population. For HIV, we also assessed association between outcomes. Results: From 2019, had stable...
Objective HIV disproportionately affects Hispanic/Latino people in the United States, and factors other than individual attributes may be contributing to these differences.
