The National HIV/AIDS Strategy sets bold targets for ending HIV in the United States by 2030, including a 75% reduction in new HIV infections by 2025 and a 90% reduction by 2030. The Strategy uses eight data indicators to measure progress, as well as five additional indicators of progress focused on quality of life among people with HIV. This table monitors progress towards these goals.
Monitoring national HIV prevention goals by using data from the National HIV Surveillance System (NHSS) and other reporting systems
Note. Information on NHAS (2022–2025) can be found at https://www.hiv.gov/federal-response/national-hiv-aids-strategy/national-hiv-aids-strategy-2022-2025. Estimates for years 2020 and 2021 should be interpreted with caution due to adjustments made to the monthly distribution of reported diagnoses during those years to account for the impact of COVID-19 on HIV testing and diagnosis in the United States.
