• Description:
  "Ending the HIV Epidemic in the US" (EHE) focuses on 57 jurisdictions most affected by HIV.
  
  Using 2021 data from the National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation system, we calculated distributions of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded HIV tests and HIV testing services outcomes in EHE and non-EHE jurisdictions. We conducted χ2 tests and robust Poisson regression to compare differences in outcomes.
  
  Of the 1 753 873 tests, a greater proportion was conducted in EHE (65.7%) vs non-EHE (34.3%) jurisdictions (P < .001). A greater number of persons newly diagnosed were in EHE (n = 5861) vs non-EHE (n = 2329) jurisdictions; newly diagnosed positivity was also higher in EHE (0.5%) vs non-EHE (0.4%) jurisdictions (prevalence ratio PR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.25-1.38). Among persons newly diagnosed, there were no differences in linkage to care within 30 days in EHE (77.9%) vs non-EHE (77.1%) jurisdictions (PR, 1.01; 95% CI, .95-1.07). The proportion of persons newly diagnosed interviewed for partner services was lower in EHE (69.0%) vs non-EHE (84.8%) jurisdictions (PR, 0.81; 95% CI, .76-.87).
  
  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded HIV testing services in EHE jurisdictions conducted more HIV testing and diagnosed more persons. Jurisdictions can further expand HIV testing and related services to continue striving toward EHE goals.
