Cautious Optimism in San Francisco as New Cases of HIV in Latinos Decrease

Data from the San Francisco Department of Public Health shows a 46% decline in the number of Latinos newly tested positive for HIV between 2022 to 2023. However, outreach workers and health care providers highlighted that there’s still work to be done to prevent HIV transmission. Experts caution that more breakdown data is required to ensure whether the decline indicates true reduction in HIV among Latinos or decreased testing rates.
