Positive Link History:
Positive Link (PL) has been walking this path with our community since 1991. We have experienced the many lows, but also the many highs. HIV is not the same disease it was in the early nineties, yet a cure remains elusive. We have also changed: helping infected clients live rather than helping them prepare to die; engaging in extensive and widespread education and testing to ensure early intervention for those who do not know of their infection; responding to the changing demographics of our community to ensure that we are a part of the community, not an outside force with its own agenda. We have learned that to truly serve our community we must be a part of the community. That is where our story truly begins. In the mid-eighties, a small group formed in Bloomington to provide support to those living with HIV. Those individuals did not know the cause, did not how it was transmitted, and did not know what exactly to do. But they knew they needed to help. From this group sprang an ongoing support group facilitated by the community mental health center. After passage of the Ryan White CARE Act in 1990, PL was begun in 1991 under the auspices of the Public Health Nursing Association and began provision of HIV care coordination services. In 1996 PL merged into the Community Health (CH) Department at IU Health Bloomington Hospital and has since grown to include a broad continuum of services.

April 18th is National Transgender HIV Testing Day (NTHTD). The World Health Organization indicates that people of transgender experience are around 13 times more likely to be living with HIV than other adults. Stigma, legal discrimination, legal barriers and violence are among some of the reasons trans folks do not get care. We all deserve to feel safe and receive health care that is affirming—here at Positive Link we are committed to providing this to you. Please call 812-352-3169 or email us at hivtesting@iuhealth.org to learn more.

Its STI Awareness Week! All week, we are going to be sharing resources about testing, prevention, and communication from owntheawk.org from the National Coalition for Sexual Health. They have got some great resources for learning about safer s*x.

Does talking about STIs make you cringe? The
reality is half of s*xually active people will get
an STI by age 25, and most STIs don’t show any
symptoms. It’s time we drop the awk and have
“the talk” about testing. See how it’s done with
our videos, scripts, convo starters, and more
at OwnTheAwk.org

¿Te incomoda hablar sobre las ITS? La realidad
es que la mitad de las personas s*xualmente
activas contraerán una ITS antes de los 25 años,
y la mayoría de las ITS no presentan síntomas.
Es hora de dejar la incomodidad y tener “la
charla” sobre las pruebas. Descubre cómo
hacerlo con nuestro video, guiones, temas para

National Youth HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NYHAAD) highlights HIV’s disproportionate impact on young people across the United States. This NYHAAD, we are highlighting data on the HIV epidemic’s impact on youth living with or at risk for HIV.

In 2023, young people aged 13-24 accounted for 18% of all new HIV diagnoses nationwide.

HIV disproportionately impacts young people who are Black, with Black youth accounting for 47% of new HIV diagnoses among youth (13-24) in 2023. Black women and girls made up 50% of all young women and girls (aged 13-24) newly diagnosed with HIV in 2023.

Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) has proven extremely effective in preventing new HIV diagnoses. In 2024, teenagers and young adults had the greatest unmet need for PrEP among all age groups – for every 1 person between the ages of 13-24 diagnosed with HIV, only 9 people in the same age group use PrEP.

Viral suppression refers to reducing the amount of HIV in the blood (viral load) to an undetectable level through consistent antiretroviral therapy (ART). When a person achieves and maintains viral suppression, they stay healthier and have effectively no risk of transmitting HIV to s*xual partners. In 2023, only 69% of young people living with HIV had achieved viral suppression, falling short of the 2030 Ending the HIV Epidemic goal of 90%.

Factors such as a lack of thorough s*x education and a lack of HIV testing have contributed significantly to youth risk for HIV. In 2023, only 37% of 18–24-year-olds reported having ever been tested for HIV – meaning many people in this age group may be unaware of their HIV status.
