Seattle – Governor Jay Inslee has announced a commitment to End AIDS in Washington. The governor issued a proclamation today that appoints an HIV Planning Steering Group (HPSG) to develop a statewide plan for reducing the rate of new HIV diagnoses by 50 percent by 2020.

“It was 1981 when the first Washingtonian was diagnosed with AIDS,” said Gov. Inslee. “While the number of new cases of HIV has declined, almost 14,000 people in Washington live with HIV today and close to 500 new cases were diagnosed last year. We must do more. With medical professionals, public health experts and community advocates working together we can drive down infection rates and even hope to end AIDS in Washington State.”

Washington’s governor is the second in the United States to make this declaration. When this goal is reached in Washington, the transmission rate will be the lowest in the United States for states with 5 million or more residents.
