What Is Already Known About This Topic?:
Given the proportion of undiagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases and regional disparities in Fujian Province, achieving the 2030 targets to end acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) remains uncertain.
What Is Added By This Report?:
HIV transmission in Fujian has stabilized through treatment and viral suppression, achieving the "95-95-95" targets; however, a diagnostic gap persists (86.30%). Transmissibility recently increased (R eff =1.03), with males and adults aged 20-70 years as the primary high-risk populations, threatening elimination goals.
What Are The Implications For Public Health Practice?:
Improving diagnostic coverage is essential for epidemic elimination. Targeted screening and self-testing must be intensified among key populations, particularly middle-aged and older adults, while maintaining treatment achievements to prevent resurgence.
