Sacramento Region HIV/AIDS Statistics PDF Print E-mail
We have at least 5,000 people with HIV/AIDS in the greater Sacramento area. About 1000 of those people do not know they have HIV. They are unaware that they may be spreading HIV to others. Of the 5,000 or so people who have HIV, about 1500 of them know they have HIV but are not in medical care. So we have 2500 people who either don’t know they have HIV or know they have HIV and aren’t on medications- either way, they are spreading HIV to others. But we can do something about that. We can create a community that really tackles the entire issue of HIV care and prevention.
