1. Implementing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) via the CDC Funding Announcement for 2012-2016 SPG Meeting - August 17, 2011 Portland State Office Building Veda Latin Section Manager HIV/STD/TB Programs

2. Purpose Today Mini refresher of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) Discuss how the NHAS is reflected in the CDC Comprehensive HIV Prevention Programs for Health Departments funding announcement Discuss implications

3. National HIV/AIDS Strategy Vision “The United States will become a place where new HIV infections are rare and when they do occur, every person, regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or socioeconomic circumstance, will have unfettered access to high quality, life-extending care, free from stigma and discrimination.”

4. Goals of NHAS 1.Reduce HIV incidence 2.Increase access to care and optimize health outcomes 3.Reduce HIV-related health disparities 4.Achieve a more coordinated national response to the HIV epidemic

5. NHAS Targets for 2015 Increase proportion of HIV+ persons who know their status from 79% to 90% Rate of transmission by 30% Annual new infections by 25%

6. NHAS Targets for 2015 Increase Access to Care and Improve Health Outcomes of People Living with HIV Increase: Clients linked to clinical care within 3 months of HIV diagnosis from 65% to 85% Ryan White clients in continuous care from 73% to 80% Ryan White clients with permanent housing from 82% to 86%

7. NHAS Targets for 2015 Reduce HIV-Related Health Disparities Increase proportion of diagnosed: Gay and bisexual men with undetectable viral load by 20% HIV diagnosed Blacks & Latinos with undetectable viral load by 20% Continue to focus HIV prevention on substance abusers

8. Role of States in Reducing HIV Incidence Intensify HIV prevention efforts (resources) in communities where HIV is most heavily concentrated Use a combination of approaches to expand targeted efforts Educate all Americans about the threat of HIV and how to prevent it

9. Role of States in Increasing Access to Care and Improving Health Outcomes Foster seamless linkage to care Adopt policies increasing diversity of health care and related providers Support people living with HIV with co-occurring health conditions

10. Role of States in Reducing HIV-Related Health Disparities Reduce mortality in high-risk communities Support innovative community-level solutions to HIV in high-risk communities Reduce discrimination and stigma against people living with HIV

11. Role of States in Achieving a More Coordinated National Response Collaborate with federal partners Coordinate planning across agencies Distribution of resources to greatest need Standardized and streamlined data collection Provide progress reports on NHAS goals

12. CDC’s Comprehensive HIV Prevention Programs for Health Departments – Funding Structure Realigns CDC funded HIV prevention activities with the 2010 NHAS Focus on high impact HIV prevention targeted to HIV+ and high-risk negative populations Moves beyond combination prevention by focusing on improved implementation, coverage, scale and impact Increases monitoring and accountability

Category A Core Component

17. HIV Testing (cont.) For targeted testing in non-healthcare settings (only a few sites in Oregon), at least a 1.0% rate of newly identified HIV-positive tests annually. At least 85% of persons testing positive receive test results. At least 80% who receive test results are linked to medical care and attend their first appointment At least 75% who receive test results are referred and linked to Partner Services Category A Core Component

18. Comprehensive Prevention with Positives Linkage to care, treatment and services Retention/re-engagement in care Referral & linkage to other medical & social services Ongoing Partner Services Ensure that HIV+ pregnant women receive interventions & treatment Case review & community action secondary to missed perinatal HIV prevention opportunities Category A Core Component

19. Comprehensive Prevention with Positives (cont.) Risk screening followed by risk reduction interventions for HIV+ persons and HIV-discordant couples Behavioral, structural, and/or biomedical interventions for HIV+ persons Integrated hepatitis, TB, & STD screening, and Partner Services Reporting of CD4 & viral load results Category A Core Component

20. Condom Distribution Condom distribution targeting HIV-positive persons and persons at highest risk of acquiring HIV infection Category A Core Component

21. Policy Initiatives Support efforts to align structures, policies and regulations in the state with optimal HIV prevention, care and treatment Create an enabling environment for HIV prevention efforts Aim to improve efficiency of HIV prevention efforts where applicable Category A Core Component

22. Jurisdictional HIV Prevention Plan Description of Existing Resources Prevention Care and Treatment Need Resources Infrastructure Service Delivery Activities and Strategies Timeline Responsible Party Scalability Population Level Impact Cost Efficient NHAS
