The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the availability of funding for HIV prevention projects by state and local health departments.
The purpose of the program is to support and enhance the ability of public health departments to design, implement, and evaluate comprehensive HIV prevention programs. A comprehensive HIV prevention program should include the following components: (1) HIV prevention community planning; (2) HIV prevention activities such as HIV prevention counseling, testing, and referral services (CTRS); partner services (PS); prevention for HIV-infected persons; health education/risk reduction (HE/RR) activities; public information programs; and perinatal transmission prevention; (3) Program monitoring and quality assurance; (4) Capacity-building activities; (5) Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) prevention activities; (6) Program collaboration and coordination with other related programs (e.g., viral hepatitis prevention); (7) Laboratory support; and, (8) HIV/AIDS epidemiologic and behavioral surveillance.
Funding for enhanced perinatal transmission prevention projects is also available to a select number of grantees that meet specific eligibility criteria.
The goal of this program is to reduce transmission of HIV by building capacity of health departments to: (1) Deliver targeted, sustained, and evidence-based HIV prevention interventions, including prevention of perinatal HIV transmission; (2) Implement proven public health strategies such as HIV/STD partner services; (3) Develop systems and relationships to ensure clients are linked to appropriate prevention, care, and treatment services; and, (4) Develop and implement capacity-building, program monitoring, and quality assurance policies and procedures to support continuous program improvement.
