National HIV/AIDS Strategy

The lead federal agencies for implementing the Strategy—Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Department of Justice, Labor, Veterans Affairs, and the Social Security Administration submitted to the Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) detailed operational plans for implementing the Strategy within their agencies.

These operational plans complement the Federal Implementation Plan that was released with the Strategy. The Federal Implementation Plan details action steps that specific agencies would meet the goals of the Strategy in 2010 and 2011.

Each agency’s operational plan addresses not only its approach to implementing the actions assigned in the Federal Implementation Plan but also details additional intra- and inter-agency activities and initiatives.

The White House provided an overview of the agency operational plans: Implementing The National HIV/AIDS Strategy: Overview of Agency Operational Plans (PDF, 1.2 Mb).

ONAP and OMB also received from the Secretary of Defense a plan for aligning the health care services provided by the Department of Defense with the Strategy; and the Secretary of State submitted recommendations based on lessons learned in implementing the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR); and the Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) submitted recommendations for increasing employment opportunities for people living with HIV and a plan for addressing employment-related discrimination against people living with HIV.
