AIDSVu has released interactive maps and data that visualize the HIV epidemic at the state– and county– levels for 2021. In addition to state and county levels, these data can also be viewed across different demographic groups such as age, sex, and race/ethnicity as well as different social determinants of health (SDOH) including poverty, income inequality, and lack of health insurance.
In addition to mapping HIV prevalence and new HIV diagnoses, AIDSVu also collects data on the HIV care continuum, a public health model that outlines the steps that people living with HIV go through from diagnosis to achieving and maintaining viral suppression. This year, AIDSVu has also added county-level HIV care continuum maps for the first time for linkage to care, receipt of care, and viral suppression.
This year, AIDSVu also partnered with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Medical Monitoring Project (CDC MMP) to include new data on our local profiles for people experiencing homelessness/unstable housing and HIV-related stigma.
