THE FACTS

Despite game-changing developments in HIV prevention and treatment, services are not reaching all who need them equally. Houston, home to 7.4 million people, ranks eighth in the nation for new HIV diagnoses and has lower rates of people remaining in HIV care and achieving viral suppression compared to the rest of the country. Black Americans, Latinos, and youth/young adults ages 13-24 are disproportionately impacted by HIV in Houston.


ABOUT THE U.S. BUSINESS ACTION TO END HIV
