HIV and AIDS

This brochure is for patients at risk for developing HIV and discusses what PrEP and PEP are.

This brochure discusses how Partner Services provides free and confidential services to people diagnosed with HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs, like syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia) and their partners. Through Partner Services, health department staff members help find sexual or drug injection partners so they can be informed of their potential risk of being exposed to HIV or another STD. Partner Services then provides sexual or drug injection partners who are at risk with testing, counseling, and referrals for other services.

This brochure is for patients looking to understand their HIV test results.

This guide discusses partner services for HIV and STDs and is targeted towards providers and other health professionals.

This guide underscores the importance of HIV testing and immediate treatment upon diagnosis to reduce new infections. With over 1 million individuals in the US unaware of their HIV status, early detection is vital. Health care providers play a critical role by conducting routine screenings, linking those diagnosed with HIV to treatment and prevention services, and providing preventive measures like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to those at risk.

Helpful tips for having successful conversations about HIV prevention, testing, and treatment with friends, family, and other loved ones.

The aim of this legal research is to compile enacted state laws and regulations regarding reporting requirements for negative HIV and Hepatitis C test results. The research includes all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia and only covers enacted laws and regulations – excluding proposed bills, sub-regulatory guidance, and case law.  Reporting requirements for a specific jurisdiction may vary between health care providers and clinical laboratories. Data displayed within this map excludes provisions specific to prenatal/postnatal testing and exposed newborns – infants.

NASTAD intends for health department staff to use this slide deck as a template to present foundational cluster detection and response (CDR) information to community partners and health department staff, either in-person or virtually. Slides, accompanying notes, and slide animations should be adapted based on factors including the audience, details regarding the jurisdiction's CDR work, and state/local policies. We recommend consulting your health department’s legal counsel for expertise and assistance with the section on state HIV criminalization laws.
