Description:
In Sept. 2007, CDC funded 23 state and city health departments for a three-year program, through program announcement PS07-768 Expanded and Integrated Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Testing for Populations Disproportionately Affected by HIV, Primarily African Americans, or the 'Expanded Testing Initiative (ETI).' Each of these 23 jurisdictions was charged with developing innovative and creative ways of increasing HIV testing, particularly among African-Americans and other groups at significant risk and who are unaware of their HIV status. Two additional jurisdictions were added in FY 2008, bringing the total funded to 25. The ETI funding encourages novel and strategic approaches to meeting public health challenges, including the use of rapid HIV testing technologies to ensure that HIV-positive persons receive their test results and establishing routine HIV testing as a standard across health care services.
