Abstract
|
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates more than 1.1 million adults and adolescents are living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the United States and 18% of persons living with HIV are not aware of their status. The epidemic continues to have a disproportionate impact on racial and ethnic minority populations--particularly African Americans and Hispanics--and on men who have sex with men (MSM) and injection drug users (IDUs), regardless of race or ethnicity. On July 13, 2010, the White House released the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). This ambitious plan is the nation's first-ever comprehensive coordinated HIV/AIDS roadmap with clear and measurable targets. It is also a new attempt to set clear priorities and provide leadership for all public and private stakeholders to align their efforts toward a common purpose. The goals of NHAS are to: (1) Reduce new HIV infections; (2) Increase access to care and improve health outcomes for people living with HIV; and (3) Reduce HIV-related health disparities.
