Reporting HIV/AIDS cases is vitally important to efforts to characterize the epidemic in Kentucky, gather resources to fight HIV disease, target limited resources to maximize benefits and uncover clusters of HIV transmission as soon as possible. Funding for HIV-related medical services and treatment is directly related to the number of cases reported.
