Description:"This third annual report of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention highlights some major achievements and challenges faced by our organization in 2009, and looks forward to opportunities for improving health impact in the year ahead. We continue to deliver life-saving, effective, evidence-based prevention programs at home and abroad. Our stories show how we have strengthened our science by growing the size of our research efforts, increasing our research partnerships and collaborations, and developing and mentoring new researchers in the prevention arena. The epidemics of HIV and other STDs, hepatitis, and TB are large and complex, but we have made progress over the last year both in the United States and throughout the world. In the U.S.: New diagnoses and rates of TB continued to drop and, in 2009, were at the lowest levels ever recorded ; Expansion of hepatitis B vaccination programs brought continued declines in acute hepatitis B infections; Advances in checking for and tracking of hepatitis C infection continue; New efforts have started that focus on mobilizing communities to reduce HIV, STD, TB, and hepatitis health disparities and promote greater health equity; The Act Against AIDS campaign, the first nationwide, federally funded campaign to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS in over two decades was launched; Large investments continue to be made to promote HIV testing, especially in areas with high rates of disease among African Americans; The planning and delivery of our prevention investments and programs have improved by providing new program and funding opportunity announcements that are more balanced between national and local prevention priorities and needs; New prevention programs have been introduced and established programs and approaches refined, including collaborative programs that integrate services for more than one disease or risk; begin to address the social determinants of health; and put funding in areas where there is evidence of improved health; New communication technologies have promoted HIV and STD prevention." - p. 3
