Description:The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the nation’s health protection agency. As part of the CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) promotes health and quality of life by preventing HIV infection and reducing HIV-related illness and death in the United States. This CDC National HIV Prevention Progress Report describes progress toward achieving the goals and objectives of the DHAP Strategic Plan for 2011-2015. It uses data from CDC HIV surveillance systems to report on 21 indicators that support planning, monitoring, and improvement related to three key priorities of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS): Reducing new HIV infections; Increasing access to care and improving health outcomes for people living with HIV; Reducing HIV-related health disparities.
This report provides an overview of trends before the DHAP Strategic Plan for 2011-2015 was put in place, and, where data are available, presents results for the first year of the Strategic Plan’s implementation. Progress toward achieving the 2015 goals is evaluated against annual targets. These targets are based on the assumption that large- scale programmatic change takes time. They also reflect the expectation that more improvement will occur over time as these changes are more fully implemented. Goals, objectives, and annual targets may be revised based on funding levels as well as scientific and programmatic advances.
CDC is committed to improving transparency and accountability. This CDC National HIV Prevention Progress Report reflects that commitment. Some of the indicators in this report are also used to monitor and report results for a number of important federal efforts including the NHAS, Healthy People 2020, the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), and the Department of Health and Human Service’s Core HIV Indicators.
