Vision for the National HIV/AIDS Strategy

The United States will become a place where new HIV infections are rare and when they do occur, every person regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic circumstance, will have unfettered access to high quality, life-extending care, free from stigma and discrimination.

Goals for the National HIV/AIDS Strategy

1. Reduce new HIV infections

  • Lower the annual number of new infections by 25%
  • Reduce HIV transmission by 30%
  • Increase the percentage of people living with HIV who know their serostatus from 79% to 90%

2. Increase access to care and improve health outcomes for people living with HIV

  • Increase the proportion of newly diagnosed patients linked to clinical care from 65% to 85%
  • Increase the proportion of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program clients who are in continuous care from 73% to 80%
  • Increase the number of Ryan White clients with permanent housing from 82% to 86%

3. Reduce HIV-related health disparities

  • Improve access to prevention and care services for all Americans
  • Increase the proportion of HIV-diagnosed gay and bisexual men with undetectable viral load by 20%
  • Increase the proportion of HIV-diagnosed Blacks with undetectable viral load by 20%
