Indicators to Monitor Progress
The Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States (EHE) initiative aims to reduce new HIV infections by 90% by 2030. The initiative includes four pillars: DIAGNOSE, TREAT, PREVENT, and RESPOND. For each pillar, the EHE initiative scales up science-based strategies that can end the epidemic.
Annual HIV Infections in the U.S. 2015–2019*
Total Number of HIV Diagnoses in 2019: 36,801**
87% of the estimated 1.2 million people with HIV in the U.S. know their status.*
Percentage of HIV Diagnoses by Region, 2019
1 in 4 people with HIV are not receiving needed HIV care.
Linkage to Care by Race/Ethnicity, 2019
Viral Suppression by Race/Ethnicity, 2019
CDC works to ensure that all jurisdictions have the capacity to quickly identify, investigate, and respond to potential HIV outbreaks.
CDC uses six HIV indicators to monitor progress toward Ending the HIV Epidemic goals:
