A recent report highlights a concerning trend in HIV knowledge. The sixth annual State of HIV Stigma Report, released by GLAAD, reveals a gap between medical progress and public awareness. Many Americans lack understanding of key facts, including the concept that undetectable HIV is untransmittable.

The report's findings show a decline in self-reported knowledge of HIV among adults. This decrease is particularly notable among younger generations. Additionally, comfort levels with interacting with people living with HIV have decreased since 2024.

Further details on the report's findings are available, including graphics and survey results. The report was created in partnership with Gilead Sciences and provides insight into the current state of HIV awareness.
