When San Francisco’s Getting to Zero collaboration first announced its mission to achieve zero new HIV infections, zero HIV-associated deaths and zero HIV stigma in San Francisco, the aims were considered a moonshot.
Three years later, these goals don’t seem so distant.
In 2016, new HIV diagnoses in San Francisco reached a record low: 223. This represents a 16 percent decrease from 2015, according to a recent report from the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH).
At the peak of the AIDS epidemic in 1992, 2,332 new HIV diagnoses in San Francisco were reported.
