ETE Metrics Notes

  • Data sources for NYS Statewide and NYC are the NYS HIV Surveillance System and the NYC DOHMH Surveillance System, respectively, unless otherwise noted in chart notes above. Data as of March 2023.
  • The purple dotted line represents the extension of NYS ETE goals to 2024 due to the impact of COVID-19.
  • Data for the year 2020 should be interpreted with caution due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on access to HIV testing, care-related services, and case surveillance activities.
  • NYS Statewide data is viewable by sex, age, or race/ethnicity, and NYC data is viewable by race/ethnicity for select metrics. No stratifications are available for Bending the Curve, Stigma, New Infections – Incidence, or HIV Status Aware. No race/ethnicity or age data are shown for either PrEP Utilization metric.
  • Starting with analyses of 2020 data, NYS implemented a new race/ethnicity classification methodology. This change reduces misclassification, with notable decreases in the percentage of individuals classified as Multi-Race or Hispanic, and increases in percentages of other categories. In 2021, an additional revision of the race/ethnicity classification methodology was introduced in accordance with an OMB directive separating the “Asian and Pacific Islander” category into two distinct categories, now called “Asian” and “Native Hawaiian / Pacific Islander.”
  • Proportions for some metrics filtered by age or race/ethnicity (e.g. Native American) are unstable due to low numbers; data are either hidden or should be interpreted with caution.
  • Incidence and undiagnosed estimates are calculated using CDC methodology released in 2022.
  • In 2019, NYS cautiously applauded the milestone of “Bending the Curve”, achieving the first ever decrease in HIV prevalence in NYS. Bending the curve is defined as the point where estimated HIV infections are lower than the number of deaths among people with diagnosed HIV and we achieve a decrease in the number of New Yorkers living with HIV. Our goal remains to keep new infections lower than deaths among people living with diagnosed HIV.
