Since 2000, there has been a significant decline in the number of new HIV cases reported in Salem, MA, as well as the death rate of those living with HIV. However, in 2017 the Department of Health reported a spike in the number of new HIV cases, specifically among drug injectors. Recent funding cuts to HIV prevention and awareness campaigns have been blamed in part for the increase in new transmissions, and men who have sex with men are heavily overrepresented in HIV statistics.
The Essex County Department of Health is urging everyone aged 13 and above to undertake STD tests as part of their annual health check, to stop the rapid rise in new transmissions.
