Those receiving care but not fully suppressed accounted for 19.8% of new infections.

At Monday's news conference, CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield said that"HIV touches every corner of our country, mainly cities, but rural areas as well." He noted that by increasing access to testing and treatment, we can prevent the"lion's share" of new infections. "A goal that once seemed impossible is now within our reach," he said.
