New York officials say that, as of 2018, 93 percent of people with HIV have gotten a diagnosis, 90 percent are on treatment and 92 percent of those on treatment are virally suppressed
New York City has surpassed a major goal against HIV/AIDS two years ahead of schedule, city officials announced Monday.
New York state could end its AIDS epidemic by end of 2020, governor saysThe target, originally set for 2020 by UNAIDS and known as 90-90-90, represents the percentage of people with HIV who know their status, who are on treatment and whose viral load is suppressed. New York officials said that, as of 2018, they have surpassed those numbers -- 93% of people with HIV have gotten a diagnosis, 90% are on treatment and 92% of those on treatment are virally suppressed.
In October, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office announced that new HIV diagnoses in the state had dropped to a historic low -- 2,481 in 2018. On Sunday, Cuomo announced the number of new HIV infections had also fallen to a low of 2,019 cases in 2018, adding that the state is on track to end the AIDS epidemic there by the end of 2020.
