The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday, Aug. 22, published data from the 2021 cycle — June 2021–May 2022 — of the annual Medical Monitoring Project that reports nationally representative estimates of behavioral and clinical characteristics of adults with diagnosed HIV infection in the United States.
Data in the report, researchers say, provides “information critical for achieving national HIV-related goals, including data used to monitor five National HIV/AIDS Strategy quality of life indicators and HIV stigma.
Findings in the report include: The percentage of people with diagnosed HIV who reported good or better health was 72 percent in 2018 and 69 percent in 2021 (2025 NHAS goal is 95 percent).
The percentage of people with diagnosed HIV who had an unmet need for mental health services was 24 percent in 2017 and 28 percent in 2021 (2025 NHAS goal is 12 percent).
