Clark County reported 488 new HIV diagnoses in 2022, with 11,518 people living with HIV. HIV disproportionately impacts racial and ethnic minorities, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. The Health District and its community partners aim to reduce the stigma associated with HIV and STI testing and treatment to increase the number of people who know their status and find infections sooner.
The Sexual Health Education & Testing Health Fair is a reminder to the community there are services and resources available.
The Southern Nevada Health District serves as the local public health authority for Clark County, Boulder City, Henderson, Las Vegas, Mesquite and North Las Vegas. The agency safeguards the public health of the community’s residents and visitors through innovative programs, regulations, and initiatives focused on protecting and promoting their health and well-being.
