Today, AIDSVu released PrEP use data and maps by race/ethnicity at the state-level for 2022. These data reveal the importance of looking at PrEP use through a health equity lens. To be effective, programs should be driven by the goal of increasing PrEP use among populations with the greatest unmet need for PrEP.
AIDSVu is releasing these updated data in advance of National HIV Testing Day this year to recognize the importance of including PrEP in a holistic HIV testing and prevention strategy. National HIV Testing Day is a day to encourage people to get tested for HIV, know their status, and get linked to care and treatment, including PrEP.
Use this toolkit to highlight these important data and recognize National HIV Testing Day alongside AIDSVu. Below are some sample social media posts and infographics that you can use with #AIDSVu and #NHTD.
