CDC Analysis Finds Gaps in Care and Treatment among Gay Men Diagnosed with HIV

September 25, 2014- New CDC analysis finds gaps in care and treatment among gay men with diagnosed HIV

In advance of National Gay Men's HIV/ AIDS Awareness Day (observed Saturday, September 27), CDC released a new analysis showing that only half (49.5%) of gay and bisexual men diagnosed with HIV in the United States are receiving treatment for their infection. And just 42 percent have achieved viral suppression – meaning their virus is under control at a level that helps keep them healthy and also greatly reduces their risk of transmitting HIV to others.
