Thirty-eight percent of people with HIV weren't receiving treatment and
were linked to 81 percent of new infections of the virus, according to
2016 data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Monday.

Of the 1.1 million people living with HIV in the U.S. in 2016, 15 percent
were unaware they had the virus and were linked to 38 percent of new
infections, according to the data.

Twenty-three percent of people knew they had HIV but weren't in care and
were linked to 43 percent of new infections that year.

The CDC said the data prove the effort to end HIV in the U.S. needs to
focus on quickly diagnosing those who have it, treating them as soon as
possible and protecting people who are at risk of getting it.

"A goal that once seemed impossible is now within our reach," CDC Director
Robert Redfield said Monday in a call with reporters.

The administration recently announced a plan to reduce new HIV infections
by 75 percent in five years and 90 percent in 10 years.

The data showed that 51 percent of people with HIV are receiving treatment
and have suppressed the virus to a very low level where there is
effectively no risk of transmitting it.

There is no cure for HIV. But people who take antiretroviral therapy (ART)
can live "longer, healthier lives" and have no risk of transmitting the
virus as long as they take their medicine as prescribed, the CDC says.

Eleven percent of people with HIV were in care but not virally suppressed
and were linked to 20 percent of new infections.

This can happen when someone with HIV isn't taking their medication as
prescribed, sometimes because they can't afford it.

ART can cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars a month for
those without insurance, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The new strategy to end HIV will focus on expanding access to treatment
and prevention medication.

But some HIV/AIDS experts say that the $291 million in extra funding that
federal agencies ask for in the 2020 budget request is not enough.

Redfield, responding to the criticism Monday, didn't say how much the plan
would cost over ten years but said they would request adequate funding to
address the problem.

"We're going to get this plan done," Redfield said, adding he was
"confident we will have the resources."

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
