What's new at NCHHSTP
There are several important surveillance reports and updated guidelines to share. Additionally, there are free printed resources for providers, health departments, and community-based organizations.
From the Division of HIV Prevention
In April 2025, two important HIV surveillance reports were published, highlighting the need for continued efforts to meet national HIV prevention and care goals. They include:
- The HIV Diagnoses, Deaths, and Prevalence: 2025 Update, which provides the latest data (2023) on people with diagnosed HIV in the U.S.
- And the National HIV Prevention and Care Objectives: 2025 Update, which provides the latest surveillance data (2023) on care outcomes among people with HIV.
In May 2025, CDC released Antiretroviral Postexposure Prophylaxis After Sexual, Injection Drug Use, or Other Nonoccupational Exposure to HIV — CDC Recommendations, United States, 2025. These updated recommendations and guidelines for HIV nonoccupational postexposure prophylaxis (nPEP) include newer treatment medications, expanded indications for nPEP, emphasis on starting nPEP within 24 hours of exposure, updated lab testing recommendations, and counseling for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for anyone who could benefit after they complete nPEP. Exposure to HIV is a medical emergency and medicine can prevent HIV if it is administered quickly after a possible exposure. Health care professionals can help prevent new HIV infections by using CDC's nPEP recommendations and guidelines to determine whether a patient should start PEP after a potential exposure.
From the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination
In April 2025, CDC released the 2022 Aggregate Reports for TB Program Evaluation: Targeted Testing Report, which summarizes targeted testing activities implemented by reporting TB programs during 2022. CDC is the only federal agency with a division focused on promoting health and quality of life by preventing, controlling, and eventually eliminating TB in the United States. TB programs submit annual data of their targeted testing activities to CDC, including data on treatment completion. These data are the only targeted testing and follow-up latent TB infection treatment data collected in the United States and provide an opportunity for TB programs to monitor and examine these important activities
From the Division of Viral Hepatitis
In April 2025, these annual flagship reports published with the most recent data for viral hepatitis in the United States:
- The Viral Hepatitis Surveillance Report provides the latest data (2023) on diagnosed and estimated hepatitis A, B, and C virus infections in the U.S.
- The Viral Hepatitis National Progress Report provides information on progress (as of 2023) toward the agency's 2025 hepatitis goals.

CDC Museum to Preserve Agency’s History
The David J. Sencer CDC Museum (CDCM), a Smithsonian affiliate, leads CDC's efforts to collect, preserve, and share the agency's history. Through exhibitions, educational programming, archives, and the Global Health Chronicles oral history project, CDCM ensures that CDC's story—and the stories of its people—are captured for future generations.
There are two ways to support:
- Donate objects: Contribute items that reflect CDC's work such as documents, posters, presentations, microscope slides, and more.
- Share your story: Participate in an oral history interview or submit a written account to help document the agency's evolving legacy. CDCM can record interviews at the museum or virtually, on video or voice only—and you may remain anonymous if you prefer.
Capturing your voices and collecting materials are essential to telling the full story of CDC's impact.
To donate materials or schedule an oral history interview, reach out to history@cdc.gov today. Follow @cdcmuseum on Instagram.

Events
National HIV Testing Day is June 27th
An estimated 1.2 million people in the United States have HIV, and 1 in 8 do not know they have it, according to the most recent CDC estimates. HIV testing protects health, prevents severe illness and death, and prevents ongoing HIV transmission in the United States.
CDC partners with state and local health departments and organizations throughout the nation to provide in-person and mail order HIV testing as part of comprehensive HIV prevention programs. Approximately 2 million CDC-funded HIV tests are conducted each year in the United States. In addition, over 860,000 self-tests have been distributed since 2023 through a CDC-funded free mail-order self-testing program, showing the remarkable demand for HIV self-testing and its potential to reach people who have never tested for HIV or don't test as often as recommended.

CDC observed National Hepatitis Awareness Month in May to raise awareness about hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C while encouraging testing, vaccination, and timely treatment. Year-round, CDC reminds everyone that hepatitis A and hepatitis B can be prevented through vaccination, and hepatitis C can be cured with treatment. Get the word out anytime by using CDC's Hepatitis Awareness Social Media Toolkit for ready-to-go images and messages to share.
STI Awareness Week
CDC observed STI Awareness Week in April focusing on how STIs impact our lives, how to reduce STI-related stigma, fear, and discrimination, and ensure people have the tools and knowledge for prevention, testing, and treatment. GYT: Get Yourself Tested, Talk. Test. Treat., and Prepare Before You're There are available and customizable to fit the needs of any community. Even though the week is over, it's always a good idea to check the STI General Resources for up-to-date resources and information.
