In honor of those lives lost, health officials encourage awareness, education, and testing to help prevent the spread of HIV in communities across the globe.
Since the start of the epidemic several years ago, over 36 million people have died of AIDS-related illnesses and close to 37 million people were living with HIV worldwide, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . Although there have been many breakthroughs, researchers continue to look for a cure.
According to the CDC, HIV testing has sharply decreased in health care and non-health care settings from 2019 to 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic began, prompting an urgent need to increase testing. Additionally, HHD said more than 1,169 new HIV diagnoses and 117 HIV-related deaths in Houston and Harris County were reported to the department in 2021. As of 2020, over 28,200 people were living with HIV in Houston and Harris County and nearly 1.5 million new cases were reported worldwide, the health department reported.End the HIV Epidemic in the United States by 2030 initiative
