Letter from the President

Our country is at a crossroads. Right now, we are experiencing a domestic epidemic that demands a renewed commitment, increased public attention, and leadership. Early in my Administration, I tasked the Office of National AIDS Policy with developing a National HIV/AIDS Strategy.

President's Memorandum to Federal Agencies

As we approach the thirtieth year of an HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States, new actions are needed to prevent HIV infection and better serve people living with HIV.

Strategy

President Obama committed to developing a National HIV/AIDS Strategy with three primary goals:

  1. Reducing the number of people who become infected with HIV;
  2. Increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes for people living with HIV; and,
  3. Reducing HIV-related health disparities.

To accomplish these goals, we must achieve a more coordinated national response to the HIV epidemic.

The job of implementing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, however, does not fall to the Federal Government alone, nor should it. Success will require the commitment of all parts of society, including State, tribal and local governments, businesses, faith communities, philanthropy, the scientific and medical communities, educational institutions, people living with HIV, and others.

Implementation

The National HIV/AIDS Strategy demands unprecedented levels of coordination among Federal agencies, state and local government and community groups to achieve our goals. This plan outlines the steps the Federal Government will take to implement this strategy. Learn More.

Community Ideas Report

Community Ideas for Improving the Response to the Domestic HIV Epidemic.  A Report on a National Dialog on HIV/AIDS.

Last fall, the Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP) asked Americans to give us their input for the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. We have released a report of the major themes that we heard from the public.

I am tired of telling teenagers that their HIV test is positive... Every 17-year-old I diagnose with HIV represents 60 to 80 years of transmission potential [and] each represents nearly a million dollars in healthcare costs over their lifetime.
All too often, people suffering from multiple chronic conditions receive little to no coordination of their health care from the various specialists that they regularly interact with. Adapt chronic health care models that emphasize outpatient primary care, patient education, and multiple-condition health care coordination.
Let people of color develop their own messages that work, not outside people telling them how and what they need to do. Help develop and educate grassroots CBOs and ASOs about how to serve the community they are in.
