Today, the Rolls School of Public Health at Emory University released an update to AIDSvu, a compilation map of reported HIV/AIDS cases collected from 20 cities across the country.
Emory says the map is the most detailed picture of new HIV/AIDS cases publicly available. Data is collected from a variety of sources and is compiled into a single map.
“Our National HIV/AIDS Strategy calls for reducing new HIV infections by intensifying our efforts in HIV prevention where the epidemic is most concentrated. AIDSVu provides a roadmap to identifying those high-prevalence areas of the HIV epidemic and showing where the local testing resources are located,” said Patrick S. Sullivan, PhD, DVM, professor of epidemiology at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health, and the principal researcher for AIDSVu, today via a media release.
