2021 : HIV Epidemiological Profile

This report describes new diagnoses of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 2021 among persons whose primary residence was in Utah at the time of diagnosis. Data analysis assessed the demographics of new diagnoses (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, risk factors, etc.) as well as their geographic distribution. Trends for the past 10 years were included for comparison. Since there is often a delay in reporting deaths and address changes, analyses involving persons previously known to be HIV-positive only include data through the end of 2020. A few special topics related to HIV, such as stage 3 (AIDS) diagnoses and death rates, were also analyzed.
