2021 | Annual HIV Testing Report | Reports | Resource Library | HIV/AIDS

OVERVIEW

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) receives, analyzes, and disseminates data on CDC-funded HIV testing and prevention activities reported through the National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation (NHM&E) data reporting system, EvaluationWeb®. These data are used to assess the impact of CDC-funded HIV testing efforts, inform programmatic activities, and document the progress of programs toward local, state, and national HIV prevention goals.

This report describes the demographics of persons tested, newly diagnosed with HIV, and linked to HIV medical care within 30 days in the United States, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands in 2021. Data presented in this report include HIV test-level data reported to CDC through EvaluationWeb® as of September 15, 2022 from 60 state and local health departments (HDs) and 150 community-based organizations (CBOs). It is important to note that many CDC-funded jurisdictions continued to experience interruptions in the provision and reporting of HIV testing and related services in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
