As Dr. Mermin discussed, a recent CDC study found that the rate of HIV-related deaths in the U.S. fell by nearly half from 2010 to 2017, and that racial and ethnic differences in HIV-related death rates also declined. He emphasized the importance of continuing this progress by sustaining and scaling up the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative which aims to reduce new HIV infections by at least 90% by 2030.

Amen! New year, new beginnings, new blessings, new president! You got this chola! AZUCAR!
