Zusammenfassung:HIV diagnoses in the US have decreased by 8% from 2017 to 2021, partly due to increased use of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). However, there are still significant disparities in new HIV diagnoses and PrEP use based on race, ethnicity, and region. The highest burden of new HIV diagnoses is found among young Black, Latino, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in the southern US. Despite this, PrEP coverage in these demographic categories is lower than the national average of 30%. For example, Black and Latino gay and bisexual men accounted for a significant percentage of new HIV diagnoses among MSM, but only a small percentage of them were prescribed PrEP compared to their White counterparts.
