HIV in Washington State
HIV infection causes AIDS, which is responsible for a substantial amount of morbidity and mortality in Washington State. The Department of Health estimates that nearly 14,000 people are living with HIV infection in Washington, of whom about 91 percent have been diagnosed and reported to the state's HIV surveillance registry. CDC recommends that individuals between the ages of 13 and 64 get tested for HIV at least once as part of routine health care. People with risk factors should get tested more frequently. Treatment for HIV infection is widely available, and should be initiated as early as possible following diagnosis.
