The STI HIV Syndemic Workgroup (SHSW) provides guidance and input on NACCHO’s STI, HIV and syndemic programmatic, policy, and advocacy efforts. Workgroup members provide a local perspective and voice for NACCHO’s work at the national level to support, advance, and promote the role of local health departments in the prevention, care, and treatment of HIV, STIs, viral hepatitis and other conditions of the HIV STI syndemic. The workgroup provides a forum to discuss emerging and persistent issues in the field; identify and share best practices; review and provide input on new and existing initiatives; and develop and maintain NACCHO policy statements. The SHSW provides a valuable opportunity for peer learning and engagement with other experts in the field.
 

Workgroup applications for 2025-2026 are now open! Learn more and apply here.

Requests for Information: Local Health Department HIV, STI, and Hepatitis Practice

To better facilitate peer learning and engagement, NACCHO is collecting requests for information (RFIs) from local health departments (LHDs) related to local HIV, STI, and hepatitis practice, as well as adolescent sexual health, harm reduction, and substance use.

RFIs are posted on HIV, STI, & Hepatitis Digest.

NACCHO cannot guarantee that you will receive a response to your RFI, but our hope is that we will be able to facilitate a sharing environment and the more folks that are engaged, the more likely this is to be true!

If you would like to submit an RFI, please fill out the form below. Please contact Daisha Washington, Program Analyst, HIV, STI, & Viral Hepatitis, at [email protected] with any questions.

Please develop a short title for your RFI including key information about the information you are seeking (e.g.,” Examples of Standing Orders for STI Services,” “Strategies for Offering Hepatitis A Vaccination in Correctional Facilities,” or “Dealing with Community Pushback to Sex Ed.”)
Please develop a short description of your request, ranging from 1 sentence to 150 words. This information will be used to inform possible answers to your RFI and for additional dissemination, so please make sure to include any details that will affect the applicability of another health department’s experience or tools to your work.
Please indicate how you would like to receive responses to your RFI. You can select one or both options, based on your preferences. Please note that NACCHO will connect you with anyone who responds to your RFI via email, but your preference for email and/or phone will be communicated to them.
