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. Two models were developed to provide more accurate estimates of HCV prevalence among U.S. adults from 2017 to 2020.
This webinar recording features updates on new hepatitis C prevalence estimates.

This fact sheet shares prevention and general fact information regarding sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which are infections primarily caused by bacteria and viruses spread from person to person during vaginal, oral, or anal sex or other intimate contact. Some STIs, such as herpes and HPV, are spread through skin-to-skin contact.
This webpage explains that more than 30 different bacteria, viruses and parasites are known to be transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal and oral sex. Some STIs can also be transmitted from mother-to-child during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Eight pathogens are linked to the greatest incidence of STIs. Of these, 4 are currently curable: syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia and trichomoniasis. The other 4 are viral infections: hepatitis B, herpes simplex virus (HSV), HIV and human papillomavirus (HPV).
