This disruption resulted in a steep, single-year decline in HIV diagnoses. The COVID-19 pandemic in the United States led to disruptions in HIV testing services and access to clinical services throughout 2020. On we published a new HIV surveillance report: Diagnoses of HIV Infection in the United States and Dependent Areas, 2020 and a new HIV supplemental surveillance report: Monitoring Selected National HIV Prevention and Care Objectives by Using HIV Surveillance Data, United States and 6 Dependent Areas, 2020. Pride events are full of opportunities to engage with the LGBTQ+ community and share important messages to reduce HIV stigma and address testing, prevention, and treatment.ĭata analysis from our HIV surveillance reports offers us and our partners the ability to monitor trends, identify risk factors among priority populations/geographic areas, and monitor access to medical care and care-related outcomes. It contains information and resources for those planning to hold in-person or virtual activities during Pride season. This year, the Let’s Stop HIV Together campaign has created a “how to” guide, the Together Pride-In-A-Box. June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month! Please join me and millions of others in celebrating Pride and promoting equality for sexual and gender minority persons.
