The states with the highest rates of HIV diagnoses in 2021 included Georgia, Louisiana, and Florida. However, the states with the highest number of people with HIV were California, Texas, and Florida. In California, there were around 4,399 people diagnosed with HIV. HIV/AIDS diagnoses The number of diagnoses of HIV/AIDS in the United States has continued to decrease in recent years. In 2021, there were an estimated 35,769 HIV diagnoses in the U.S. down from 38,433 diagnoses in the year 2017. In total, since the beginning of the epidemic in 1981 there have been around 1.25 million diagnoses in the United States. Deaths from HIV Similarly, the death rate from HIV has also decreased significantly over the past few decades. In 2019, there were only 1.4 deaths from HIV per 100,000 population, the lowest rate since the epidemic began. However, the death rate varies greatly depending on race or ethnicity, with the death rate from HIV for African Americans reaching 19.1 per 100,000 population in 2020.
In 2021, the states with the highest number of HIV diagnoses were California, Texas, and Florida. That year, there were a total of around 35,716 HIV diagnoses in the United States. Of these, 4,399 were diagnosed in California. HIV infections have been decreasing globally for many years. In the year 2000, there were 2.8 million new infections worldwide, but this number had decreased to around 1.3 million new infections by 2023. The number of people living with HIV remains fairly steady, but the number of those that have died due to AIDS has reached some of its lowest peaks in a decade. Currently, there is no functional cure for HIV or AIDS, but improvements in therapies and treatments have enabled those living with HIV to have a much improved quality of life.

HIV/AIDS deaths in the U.S. have dropped significantly in recent years. In 1995, the death rate from HIV per 100,000 people was 16.2. That number has since decreased to 1.3 per 100,000 as of 2022. The reduction in the HIV death rate in the U.S. can be attributed to an increase in access to HIV medications. HIV/AIDS in the U.S. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) cause a systemic viral infection that damages the immune system. AIDS is a syndrome that is caused by HIV. AIDS is when the immune system is severely weakened by HIV and the body can no longer fight off infections. The number of AIDS diagnoses in the U.S. has decreased significantly in recent years. Among all U.S. states, Georgia, followed by Louisiana, had the highest rates of new HIV diagnoses in 2021. HIV/AIDS treatments in the U.S. HIV/AIDS treatments include antiretroviral medications to reduce the levels of HIV within the body. The largest funders for HIV/AIDS medications and research are the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Ryan White Program. The top HIV drug worldwide, based on revenue generated in 2023 was Biktarvy. Around the world, access to antiretroviral treatment has increased dramatically in recent years, a huge step in reducing the number of HIV-related deaths. There is currently no cure for HIV.
