U.S. States & Priority Areas
Ending the HIV epidemic starts at the community level. AHEAD facilitates easy, seamless access to data for EHE priority areas and the American public, focusing on 48 counties, Washington, DC and San Juan, Puerto Rico along with 7 priority states, mostly Southern and rural, with high rates of HIV. AHEAD also shows data for the 43 remaining states for which data are available.
