It's Not Over

There were more than 39,000 new HIV diagnoses in 2016 across the U.S. Infection rates dropped 19% between 2005 and 2014. That's good news. But there were also increases in infection rates: +4% among African American gay and bisexual men and +14% among Hispanic gay and bisexual men. There are treatments, but no vaccine. It's not over.
