FCAA NAMED TO POZ 100 LIST
This year’s POZ 100 celebrates the collective effort by advocates of all kinds to end the HIV epidemic. We’re spotlighting 100 entities, including organizations, agencies, networks and initiatives, that are making an impact across the country and around the world in combating HIV and its stigma. In 2022, an estimated 1.3 million new HIV cases were reported globally—a 38% decline in new diagnoses since 2010. Forty-plus years since the start of the HIV epidemic, we have the tools and the know-how to effectively prevent and treat the virus. Collectively, we’ve made a lot of headway, but there’s still much more work to do. For instance, of the nearly 1.2 million people living with HIV in the United States, about 13% don’t even know they have the virus.
This year’s POZ 100 represents just a fraction of the myriad forces fighting HIV. Whether tackling racism, homophobia or HIV stigma, providing care and support, championing HIV research or raising much-needed funds, the POZ 100 honorees have reshaped the landscape of HIV awareness, prevention and treatment.
