But the Michigan AIDS Fund says the state is performing poorly at curbing the infection rate in young African Americans.
The Detroit Free Press reports Michigan earned a B- for its quality of care and treatment along with funding, while HIV prevention efforts and public policy efforts both earned a C.
The organization used data on HIV trends in Michigan compiled by the state health department to produce the grades. The report card is to be released Thursday.
The fund hopes to raise HIV/AIDS awareness as World AIDS Day approaches Saturday.
