HIV Prevalence Rate

Measurement Period: 2022
This indicator shows the number of people aged 13 and older living with HIV in cases per 100,000 population.

Why is this important?

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) damages the immune system, eventually leading infected individuals to develop acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a chronic and potentially life-threatening condition. People infected with HIV may develop mild infections or chronic symptoms like fever, fatigue, shortness of breath, and weight loss. If left untreated, HIV typically progresses to AIDS in about 10 years, at which point the immune system is weakened to the point of being unable to fight infections. Men who have sex with men of all races, African Americans, and Hispanics/Latinos are disproportionately affected by HIV.

Today, more people than ever before are living with HIV/AIDS. People with HIV are living longer than in years past because of better treatments. Also, more people become infected with HIV than die from the disease each year. While the total number of people living with HIV in the US is increasing, the number of annual new HIV infections has remained stable in recent years.
