GMHC’s Client Advocates Help With Health Care, Housing and Peace of Mind

January 25, 2023

The Health Department recorded 1,594 new HIV cases in 2021, up from 1,396 in 2020. Encouragingly, it found that the HIV viral suppression rate increased slightly in 2021, despite disruptions to health care from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Almost two-thirds of NYC's 2021 cases (64.9%) were among people ages 20 to 39, and fully 77.5% were in communities that the Health Department defines as medium to high poverty.
