Abstract	The HIV/AIDS epidemic, recognized in 1981, continues to be a dire and significant public health challenge for people living in the United States. This review will cover the demographic shifts in new HIV diagnoses from 2010 to 2022. It aims to answer the essential question of “how has the pattern of infection changed in the last decade?” Data reveals that gay men continue to represent the majority of new infections while racial patterns reveal that while African American/Black are majorly affected with new HIV/AIDS diagnoses, infections in Hispanic/Latino populations are rising sharply. It was also found that populations over 55 years are increasingly becoming more and more vulnerable despite new access to sexual education and treatments like antiretroviral therapy. This review also addresses societal issues and barriers that prevent adequate treatment access. By highlighting emerging new vulnerabilities and persistent disparities, this review aims to inform future public health strategies and underscore the urgency of continued intervention.
