Through the collaborative efforts of many federal agencies as well as the steadfast work of partners at the community, state, and tribal levels, the United States continues to make important though incremental progress in ending HIV transmission and improving health outcomes and quality of life for people with HIV.

Released days after we observed the third anniversary of the current Strategy on World AIDS Day, this report provides an update to the nation on our progress and encourages our shared work to sustain and accelerate that progress to achieve our goals. The report provides the latest data on the NHAS indicators of progress as well as high-level updates on more than 50 key actions taken by federal partners to move the nation closer to reaching the Strategy’s four goals. It also highlights contributions toward that progress as a result of implementing the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. initiative, deploying resources from the Minority HIV/AIDS Fund, and enhancing efforts focused on improving quality of life among people with HIV. Finally, the progress report also highlights areas that require our further attention and effort to achieve the Strategy’s goals.

I am grateful for the efforts of federal staff across multiple departments and agencies whose dedication has contributed to the progress we have achieved. Of course, our national accomplishments could not have been realized without the essential contributions of people with and experiencing risk for HIV, community members, health care providers, researchers, public health professionals, advocates, policy makers, businesses, funders, and others. The innovation and commitment of these nonfederal partners continue to be vital in propelling our local, state, tribal, and national responses to HIV.

It is my hope that this report not only illuminates the encouraging trajectory of our collective efforts but also inspires continued efforts to accelerate our progress toward our national HIV goals. Together, let’s celebrate the unwavering determination and vital contributions of those who have driven this progress and renew our commitment to achieving our goal of ending the HIV epidemic for everyone, everywhere.
