Topics in Public Health: Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Initiative: Progress and Opportunities
October 18, 2024
Webinar
This series will educate PHS health professionals about topics that are pertinent to their roles within the various agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services and other Public Health Service agencies by presenting topics that directly relate to the HHS Strategic Plan, the Secretary's Strategic Initiatives, current topics for DHHS OPDIVs who utilize PHS health professionals, and/or other topics directly related to the advancement of public health.
The Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative was launched in 2019 with a goal of reducing the number of new HIV infections in the U.S. by 90%, prioritizing additional resources for 5O jurisdictions that account for 50% of the new HIV infections and 7 states with substantial rural burden of HIV.
The plan leverages critical scientific advances in HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and outbreak response by coordinating the highly successful programs, resources, and infrastructure of many HHS agencies and offices. EHE is currently in the 5th year of program implementation and the most recent (2022) HIV Surveillance data demonstrate significant progress despite disparities in program outcomes.
The presentation will provide an opportunity to learn about the impact of the EHE initiative, identify some lessons learned from community engagement, and review strategies to optimize the outcomes of the EHE initiative.
