State HIV Prevention Progress Report, 2014

The State HIV Prevention Progress Report (SPR) provides state-level data that show how states are doing in relation to key national goals. The report monitors HIV outcomes at the state population level but does not specifically evaluate CDC-funded activities. For 3 indicators (HIV testing, late-stage diagnosis, and death rate), the report includes data on all 50 states and the District of Columbia. For the other 3 indicators (linkage to HIV medical care, retention in HIV medical care, and viral suppression), the data are restricted to the District of Columbia and the 18 states that had complete CD4 and viral load laboratory reporting. The SPR summarizes state-level data on indicators related to priorities of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and the DHAP Strategic Plan for 2011–2015 and serves as a baseline report for 6 indicators. The report presents state indicator results by quartile.
