HIV prevention goals in the United States include reducing new HIV infections among people in the South Census region (commonly referred as the South). Using data reported to the National HIV Surveillance System, we examined trends in HIV diagnoses in the South, including the Deep South and Other South, during 2012-2017. Although diagnosis rates declined in all regions during the time period, declines were greater in all other regions compared to the Deep South, with the exception of the West region. Moreover, the South continues to have a diagnosis rate 50% higher (65% higher in the Deep South) than that of any other region. Diagnoses in the Deep South increased among some groups, including men who have sex with men, persons aged 25-34 years and Hispanics/Latinos. These findings highlight the need to further strengthen interventions in the South, particularly among communities of color and young adults.
美国的艾滋病毒预防目标包括减少南部人口普查区域（通常称为南部）的新艾滋病毒感染人数。利用向国家艾滋病毒监测系统报告的数据，我们研究了 2012 年至 2017 年期间南部（包括深南部和其他南部）艾滋病毒诊断的趋势。尽管在此期间所有地区的诊断率都有所下降，但与深南部相比，所有其他地区的下降幅度都更大，西部地区除外。此外，南部的诊断率仍比其他任何地区高出 50%（深南部高出 65%）。深南部的一些群体，包括男男性行为者、25-34 岁的人群和西班牙裔/拉丁裔，艾滋病毒诊断呈上升趋势。这些发现突出表明，需要进一步加强南部地区的干预措施，特别是在有色人种社区和青年中。
