Goals/Objectives of the CDC HIV Prevention Plan
Short-term Milestone 1: By 2010, decrease by at least 10 percent the number of persons in the United States at high risk for acquiring or transmitting HIV infection by delivering targeted, sustained and evidence-based HIV prevention interventions.
Transmission Objectives:
- Among people living with HIV, increase the proportion who consistently engage in behaviors that reduce risk of HIV transmission.
- Modified - Among men who have sex with men (MSM), increase the proportion who consistently engage in behaviors that reduce risk for transmission of HIV.
- Modified - Among sexually active, HIV-infected women and HIV-infected sexually active heterosexual men, increase the proportion who consistently engage in behaviors that reduce risk for transmission of HIV.
- Modified - Among injection drug users (IDUs), increase the proportion that abstain from drug use or, for those who do not abstain, use harm reduction strategies to reduce risk of HIV transmission.
- Modified - Among adolescents living with HIV, increase the proportion who consistently engage in behaviors that reduce risk for transmission of HIV, particularly among out-of-school high-risk youth.
- New - Increase the proportion of persons living with HIV who effectively access partner notification services.
- New - Among persons living with HIV, increase the proportion who receive evidence-based interventions, including mental health, substance abuse, and other appropriate interventions for co-morbid conditions.
- New - Among person with acute HIV infection, increase the proportion reached by appropriate HIV behavioral interventions.
- New - Increase the proportion of persons living with HIV who disclose their HIV infection before a risk encounter with a new partner and increase the proportion of persons at risk for HIV infection who disclose their HIV status before their first risk encounter with a new partner.
