-Information on prevalence, new diagnoses, PrEP use, continuum of care, mortality, demographics, transmission, testing, social determinants of health, etc.
Rationale for use: Gives current information and statistics on the topics listed above; gives comprehensive information about HIV statistics and how certain statistics have changed over time
Link: https://aidsvu.org/local-data/united-states/northeast/new-york/
Evaluating outcome data:
-Looked at use of PrEP over recent years to prevent HIV
-Number of PrEP users has increased significantly from 2012 to 2019 (1,127 users in 2012 to 31,004 users in 2019)
-Looked at number of new HIV diagnoses over recent years

Continue to promote the use of PrEP
How risks are reduced: Use of PrEP can reduce the risk of sexual acquisition of HIV
How health and outcomes are improved: HIV can be prevented
How a healthy lifestyle is preserved: Patients can avoid an HIV diagnosis

2.) Ensure HIV testing for those who need it: form more testing sites throughout NYS that are free and easily accessible to all populations
How risks are reduced: Patients are able to detect HIV early so treatment can be initiated
How health and outcomes are improved: Patient are able to identify if they have HIV, and can obtain treatment once a diagnosis is confirmed
How a healthy lifestyle is preserved: Patients can ensure they are on top of their health and diagnosis if they are aware of what their health needs are-live a longer life
