Some good health news — HIV-related deaths fell significantly between 2010 and 2018.

That's according to a new report from the CDC.

The death rate decreased by half across all genders, races, religions and ages.

Researchers believe the drop in deaths is a result of improvements to diagnosing and treating HIV.
