DREAMS Results World AIDS Day, 2017 For the first time, the latest PEPFAR data show significant declines in new HIV diagnoses among adolescent girls and young women. In the 10 African countries (63 districts) implementing DREAMS, the majority (65%) of the highest-hivburden communities or districts achieved a 25-40 percent or greater decline in new HIV diagnoses among young women. Importantly, new diagnoses declined in nearly all DREAMS intervention districts.
