National HIV Testing Day (NHTD)

June 25, 2015 – New State Data on Undiagnosed HIV Infection

In advance of National HIV Testing Day (observed Saturday, June 27), CDC has published new state (and D.C.) data showing that at the end of 2012, many states were within reach of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy objective of increasing to 90 percent the proportion of people living with HIV who are aware of their status – but achieving our national prevention goals will require further progress.
