ABSTRACT
We propose an outcome indicator, the percentage of newly diagnosed persons achieving viral suppression within 3 months of diagnosis, to be included in the US National HIV/AIDS Strategy to monitor the progress in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care among persons newly diagnosed with HIV. Using HIV registry data, we reported that the percentage in New York City increased from 9% in 2007 to 37% in 2016. We recommend that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health agencies use this new indicator to monitor the progress in HIV care among persons newly diagnosed with HIV in the United States.
