Rising HIV Cases in Colorado Spark Concern
HIV cases in Colorado have increased by 11% from 2022 to 2023, with a significant rise among the Latinx population, now accounting for 52% of cases in 2024. Experts attribute this trend to factors such as stigma, lack of awareness, and limited access to preventative measures like PrEP. Efforts are being made to increase testing and awareness, particularly among underserved communities, to curb the rise in cases. Additionally, there is a noted increase in syphilis cases, especially among pregnant women, highlighting the need for comprehensive testing and care.
