Texas Department of State Health Services HIV Plan 2027-2031
The Texas HIV Plan outlines strategies to address the ongoing HIV epidemic in Texas from 2027 to 2031. Integrating the Texas HIV continuum of care framework with the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) pillars of Prevent, Diagnose, and Treat, the plan sets ambitious goals. These include achieving a 50 percent reduction in annual HIV acquisitions, ensuring 90 percent of Texans living with HIV are aware of their status, placing 90 percent of diagnosed Texans on antiretroviral therapy (ART), and achieving 95 percent viral suppression among those on ART. The plan aims to improve prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and retention in care, with a particular focus on disproportionately impacted populations.
