diane havlier. >> it's an honor to be here today. i'm going to be talking on behalf of getting to zero. what is that? that is bringing people together from different sectors and communities with a common goal of ending the aids epidemic. it is built on the spirit of san francisco because it requires collaboration, volunteerism, and action. so the report that came out just a few minutes ago is our report card. it is how are we doing in getting to zero with our goal to end the aids epidemic in our city. one of the logical questions is, what is the getting to zero contortium's response to the report? many of the members of the steering committee here, we want to share with you our reaction to the report. we are pleased, but not satisfied. we are pleased because we broke the 200 barrier. just to say that in san francisco over the last five years, new h.i.v. diagnoses have gone down over 50%. i don't know if you know this but in the united states it has become completely flat. we are pleased because people are starting treatment earlier.
