Community Based Organizations

This webpage discusses Ending the HIV Epidemic and how many cities, counties, and states are developing and implementing plans to end the HIV epidemic in their jurisdictions. Complementing these local efforts is a ten-year national initiative known as Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America, which has brought a new wave of attention, commitment, and resources to achieve the goal of ending the HIV epidemic in the U.S. by 2030.

This webpage discusses HIV testing and its best practices.

This webpage discusses how the faith community continues to play an essential role in shaping the public’s knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. Faith-based organizations (FBOs) have been key components in a comprehensive HIV prevention strategy for building awareness, mobilizing communities, and reducing HIV-related stigma. The role FBOs play in local communities puts them in a unique position to influence their congregation to get tested, seek care, and remain virally suppressed.

This webpage discusses HIV criminalization and how the criminalization of HIV transmission or exposure dates back to the early history of the HIV epidemic.

This video from AIDSVu explains what the PrEP-to-need ratio is how it is implemented.

This guide assists navigators working with people diagnosed with or at risk for HIV. Navigators can play
a crucial role in helping people living with HIV (PLWH) because nowhere is the need to change behaviors
more important than in HIV infection. Changing risky behaviors can prevent transmission of the virus,
and people living with HIV have better outcomes when they are able to change from risky to healthier
behaviors. 

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) underestimates the true prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the U.S. due to inadequate representation of certain populations.

This webinar recording features updates on new hepatitis C prevalence estimates.
