2021 sees significant decline in HIV/AIDS diagnoses and deaths in Aotearoa

Wednesday 15th June 2022 | Kaia Kahurangi Jamieson | R1 News Reporter | kaia@r1.co.nz

In 2021, the number of people diagnosed with HIV in Aotearoa dipped to its yearly lowest since 2001, with a 51% drop in cases from the average of the previous five years. Earlier this month, the Burnett Foundation (Previously the AIDS Foundation) celebrated its first full year with no AIDS-related deaths recorded in New Zealand. We spoke to Dr. Sue McAllister, AIDS Epidemiology Group Leader, about the encouraging decline in HIV and AIDS cases, the role of regular testing in preventing transmission of STIs, and how we can support the de-stigmatisation of HIV, AIDS and other STIs and STDs.
