Durations of Military Service After Diagnoses of HIV-1 Infections among Active Component Members of the U.S. Armed Forces, 1990-2013
Below: Estimated percentages of HIV-1-infected service members still in active military service, by time (in years) since diagnoses of HIV-1 infections, by cohorts of active component members diagnosed with HIV-1, U.S. Armed Forces, 1990−2013
Below: Estimated distributions of durations (in years) of active military service after diagnoses of HIV-1 among cohorts of active component members diagnosed with HIV-1, U.S. Armed Forces, 1990−2013
"In summary, the findings of this report document large increases in the durations of service after HIV-1 diagnoses among service members who are motivated to continue their military careers. In the past 30 years, HIV-1 infection has gone from an untreatable disease marked by inexorable clinical progression through extreme debility to death to a treatable disease that is compatible with active service throughout a full career in the U.S. military. As stigmas associated with HIV-1 infection status and homosexuality decrease within the military, it is likely that durations of service after HIV-1 diagnoses will continue to lengthen."
