Ending inequities
In Oregon, we focus on ending new HIV/STI transmission. We do this with a whole-person lens and by leading with racial/ethnic equity work. We cannot end HIV/STI transmission without ending inequities.
HIV continues to be a public health challenge in Oregon
Oregon averages about 200 new HIV cases each year. That’s fewer HIV infections compared to other parts of the country. We estimate that 1,087 people living in Oregon have HIV and don’t know it.
