Living with HIV
An estimated 1.2 million people in the United States aged 13 and older were living with HIV in the U.S. at the end of 2018, the most recent year for which this information is available.
According to the latest CDC data: About 14% (or 1 in 7) people living with HIV in the U.S. don’t know it and so need testing.
According to the latest CDC data, in 2018, 37,968 people received an HIV diagnosis in the United States.
+ That 14% is 14% of those living with HIV - not the general population
the estimated HIV population 1.2 ml
According to another CDC report, of the people with HIV (diagnosed and undiagnosed) in 2018, about 76% have received some HIV care, 58% were retained in care, and 65% were virally suppressed or undetectable. Having a suppressed or undetectable viral load protects the health of a person living with HIV, preventing disease progression. There is also a major prevention benefit. A person living with HIV who takes HIV medicine daily as prescribed and gets and stays virally suppressed can stay healthy and has effectively no risk of sexually transmitting HIV to HIV-negative partners.
