The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates about one in seven people with HIV in the U.S. don’t know their status and need testing, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. One in five diagnosed with HIV in Michigan since 2022 were late-stage diagnoses, meaning they had been living with the disease for years without knowing. With proper testing and diagnosis, prompt treatment and ongoing preventive care, the CDC has found that more than 90% of new HIV cases in the could be prevented.
Ending HIV Together: Michigan’s Equitable Plan is an effort to reduce new HIV infections by 90% by 2030 through increased diagnosis, treatment, prevention and coordinated response.
“Knowing your HIV status is a powerful step toward protecting your health and the health of others,” said Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, chief medical executive. “Testing is fast, easy and confidential, and it’s the foundation of our statewide commitment to end the HIV epidemic. Through Ending HIV Together: Michigan’s Equitable Plan, we’re working to ensure every resident has access to the care, prevention and support they need to live long, healthy lives.”
Currently, the CDC recommends everyone ages 13 and older be tested for HIV at least once in their lifetime as part of routine health care, and people who engage in condomless sex or injection drug use should get tested more often. Sexually active people who test negative for HIV are encouraged to ask their health care provider about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). PrEP is a medication that, when taken as prescribed, prevents a person from getting HIV if there is an exposure to the virus.
With proper treatment, those living with HIV can reach an undetectable status. Undetectable Equals Untransmittable means that a person living with HIV who takes medicine as prescribed can achieve viral suppression, a state where the virus cannot be detected. Of those diagnosed with HIV in Michigan during 2024, 81% received HIV care and 73% were virally suppressed. Reaching viral suppression ensures those living with HIV can live longer, healthier lives and prevent transmission to sexual partners.
Many resources are available to provide free or reduced-cost HIV testing and treatment across Michigan. Testing locations and treatment resources can be found at Michigan.gov/HIVSTI. A free sexual health testing program, TakeMeHome, offers in-home self-testing options that are available for eligible Michigan residents in certain ZIP codes. Residents can also visit Michigan 211 to find available services to help prevent, diagnose and treat HIV.
