This section contains graphs displaying progress towards reaching key GTZ-IL goals and strategies by 2023 and 2030. The 2030 targets for select measures are aligned with national Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) goals. These measures outline the steps involved in achieving improved health outcomes after an HIV or AIDS diagnosis. You can hover your mouse over the points on the graphs and the info icon to gain additional information.      

Graphs in the health measures tab present data on the health status of individuals living with HIV. For instance, you will be able to see the number of new HIV diagnoses in Chicago or Illinois overall. 

Many of the health measure graphs present the steps of the HIV Care Continuum, which outline the stages that people living with HIV go through to maintain viral suppression. These steps are: diagnosis, linkage to care, receiving or being retained in care, and viral suppression. For more information on the HIV Care Continuum, please see the CDC Care Continuum Factsheet.

Social determinants of health are social and environmental conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play that affect a wide range of health and quality-of-life risks and outcomes. For instance, a measure in this section includes the number of high schoolers who used a condom the last time they engaged in sexual intercourse, which has implications for their sexual and overall health. These measures align with the goals and strategies outlined in the GTZ-IL plan.
