60%

In 2015, black women accounted for 60% of new infections among women despite representing only 13% of the female population. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of these new diagnoses occurred in the South (CDC HIV Surveillance Report, Vol. 27, 2015), and the Deep South accounted for 48% of total new HIV diagnosis among black women in 2015.

2/3

Notably, two out of every three black gay or bisexual men who were diagnosed with HIV in 2015 lived in the South (CDC HIV Surveillance Report, Vol. 27, 2015), and 51% lived in the Deep South.

25%

Of the 25 MSAs with the highest levels of MSM living with an HIV diagnosis, 21 were located in Southern states.*

15%

In Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina, more than 15% of MSM were living with diagnosed HIV infections in 2012.*

44%

44% of all people living with HIV were diagnosed in the South.

51%

In 2015, the South accounted for more than one-half (51%) of all HIV diagnoses despite representing little more than one-third (37%) of the U.S. population*. That year, 8 of the 10 states with the highest rates of people newly diagnosed with HIV were in the South: District of Columbia, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi, Texas, and South Carolina.

52%

The South is 52% of the Undiagnosed Infections in the U.S.* Consequently, fewer Southerners living with HIV receive timely medical care or treatment, fewer have their virus suppressed, and a disproportionate number are missing out on the opportunity to preserve their health and avoid transmitting HIV to their partners.
