Did you know? Women accounted for almost 1 out of 5 new HIV diagnoses in the U.S. in 2018, and nearly a quarter of the 1 million people living with HIV in the U.S. are women. HIV disproportionately impacts Black women and transgender women in the United States, and they often face stigmas related to HIV status, gender, gender identity, and ethnicity. While the rate of HIV diagnoses in women has decreased in recent years, thousands of women are still diagnosed with HIV each year.
