Topics

To achieve maximum impact, the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative focuses its Phase I efforts in 48 counties, Washington, DC, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, where >50% of HIV diagnoses occurred in 2016 and 2017, and an additional seven states with a substantial number of HIV diagnoses in rural areas, bringing the total number of Phase I jurisdictions to 57.

Most infections in the United States are highly concentrated in certain geographic hotspots. More than 50 percent of new HIV diagnoses in 2016 and 2017 occurred in only 48 counties; Washington, D.C.; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. In addition, seven states have a disproportionate occurrence of HIV in rural areas.

Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. is working to reduce new HIV transmissions by 75 percent by 2025 and by 90 percent by 2030, averting more than 250,000 HIV infections in that span. To achieve these goals, Phase I of the initiative focuses on a rapid infusion of additional resources, expertise, and technology into the 57 geographic focus areas.
