Results That Can Shape Oregon's Future
Oregon is home to approximately 7,200 people who live with HIV- people from urban and rural communities and all ages and walks of life. Another 1,100 Oregonians have HIV, but don't know it yet. Testing is a crucial component of ending new HIV infections. Studies show that when people are newly diagnosed with HIV, they reduce their risk behaviors and access treatment, reducing the chance of spreading HIV to others.
