Deeper Look: HIV in Black Communities

This webpage discusses how the Black community in the United States faces unique structural and societal barriers to accessing HIV prevention services. As a result, HIV has a disproportionate impact on the Black population. 

Deeper Look: Ending the HIV Epidemic

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.

Deeper Look: HIV and the Faith Community

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.

Deeper Look: HIV Criminalization

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

Deeper Look: HIV among Women

This webpage discusses the intersection between women and HIV. In 2021, 18% of the new HIV diagnoses in the United States and dependent areas were among women and 23% of all people living with HIV were women. In addition, Black women represent 54% of new HIV diagnoses among women.

Motivational Interviewing and HIV: A Guide for Navigators

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.
