In 2021, the states with the highest number of HIV diagnoses were California, Texas, and Florida. That year, there were a total of around 35,716 HIV diagnoses in the United States. Of these, 4,399 were diagnosed in California. HIV infections have been decreasing globally for many years. In the year 2000, there were 2.8 million new infections worldwide, but this number had decreased to around 1.3 million new infections by 2023. The number of people living with HIV remains fairly steady, but the number of those that have died due to AIDS has reached some of its lowest peaks in a decade. Currently, there is no functional cure for HIV or AIDS, but improvements in therapies and treatments have enabled those living with HIV to have a much improved quality of life.
Number of HIV diagnoses in the United States in 2021, by state
Release date represents the date figures were accessed. The source states: "Data on diagnoses of HIV infection should be interpreted with caution. Data may not be representative of all persons with HIV because not all infected persons have been tested. Also, many states offer anonymous testing; the results of anonymous tests are not reported to the confidential name-based HIV registries of state and local health departments. The data presented in the AtlasPlus provide minimum number of persons for whom HIV infection has been diagnosed and reported to the National HIV Surveillance System. In addition, because surveillance practices differ, the reporting and the updating of a person’s clinical and vital status differ among states. The completeness of reporting of
HIV diagnoses is estimated at more than 85%. HIV diagnoses refer to the number of HIV infections confirmed by laboratory or clinical evidence in 2021. Diagnoses of HIV infection are the numbers of persons aged ≥13 years with HIV diagnosed during the specified years. Diagnoses data are considered preliminary until 12-months after the diagnosis year to account for delays in reporting of case information and laboratory results."
