HIV and STI Prevention

Partners | Policy Statements | Projects | Resources | Staff Contacts

Local health departments (LHDs) play an important role in the prevention and control of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in their community, which often includes the provision of direct patient care. NACCHO's HIV and STI Prevention Programs work to strengthen the capacity of LHDs to prevent, control, and care for HIV and STIs by providing technical assistance and capacity building assistance, developing and disseminating tools and resources, facilitating peer exchange, and providing learning opportunities. Additionally, NACCHO advocates for progressive HIV and STI-related polices and adequate resources to sustain and enhance HIV and STI prevention, control, care, and research. More »
