265,330 new infections could occur in the next five years, if current testing, treatment, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) trends remain the same. If PrEP use increased among high-risk populations, 48,221 of those 265,330 new infections could be prevented. If NHAS strategy targets of 85% treatment and 80% viral suppression among those diagnosed are achieved and the use of daily (PrEP) increases, an estimated 185,000 new HIV infections could be prevented in the United States by 2020, a 70% reduction in new infections.

Gay and bisexual men continue to be most affected by the HIV epidemic in the U.S. At current rates, 1 in 6 men who have sex with men (MSM) will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime, making them 83 times more likely than heterosexual men to be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetimes. People who inject drugs are also at increased lifetime risk for HIV.

While gay and bisexual men overall have the highest lifetime risk of an HIV diagnosis, that risk varies significantly based on race and ethnicity. At current rates, 1 in 2 African American MSM and 1 in 4 Hispanic MSM will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime, compared with 1 in 11 white MSM.
