Florida has been heavily impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The state continues to rank third in the nation in the cumulative number of AIDS cases and second in the nation in the cumulative number of HIV cases.
The Florida Department of Health in Seminole County’s HIV/AIDS Program has developed a comprehensive approach to preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS and for providing care and treatment to those already infected. This includes HIV surveillance, education, prevention, counseling, testing, care, and treatment. The program also incorporates a robust PrEP (pre‑exposure prophylaxis) initiative, which provides medication and support services to help higher-risk individuals significantly reduce their chances of acquiring HIV. Through outreach, education, and accessible clinical services, the PrEP Program strengthens the county’s overall prevention strategy and promotes healthier outcomes for the community.
Based on the most recent Florida Department of Health’s HIV data, in 2022 there were:
- 124,577 people living with HIV in Florida (1,421 in Seminole County)
- 61,388 people living with AIDS in Florida
We continue to conduct surveillance of viral load suppression rates through evaluation, planning, and discussion. Our caring medical team also provides confidential services.
