Sustained Reduction in HIV Diagnoses in Massachusetts, 2000–2014
Bibliographic Data
Objectives. To describe secular trends in reported HIV diagnoses in Massachusetts concurrent with treatment access expansion. Methods. We characterized cases of HIV infection reported to the Massachusetts HIV/AIDS Surveillance Program between 2000 and 2014 by sex, age, race/ethnicity, and exposure mode. We used Poisson regression to test the statistical significance of trends in diagnoses. Results. Between 2000 and 2014, annual new HIV infections diagnosed in Massachusetts decreased by 47% (P Conclusions. Sustained reduction in new HIV diagnoses was concurrent with Massachusetts’s Medicaid expansion, state health care reform, and public health strategies to improve care access. A contributory effect of expanded HIV treatment and population-level viral suppression is hypothesized for future research
