Details:
This project supports the first pillar of EHE by increasing the percentage of persons diagnosed with HIV. This program will provide HIVSTs to communities most affected by HIV. Effective HIV prevention services, including the opportunity to more frequently test for HIV, are needed to reach these populations.
This program will provide free HIVSTs and resources for accessing HIV preventive services to people in communities most affected by HIV. Most Americans are using the internet for a variety of purposes. Using tailored advertising materials and strategies developed by CDC, web-based information about HIV testing, prevention and treatment services will be provided. This online approach is effective in increasing awareness of HIV infection outside of traditional brick-and-mortar testing sites. This has been demonstrated by recent research on the distribution of HIVSTs to MSM (Contract #200-2011-41989), and the pilot national HIVST distribution program.
This NOFO will optimize the recipient’s existing web-based ordering portal and distribution program to provide at least 875,000 HIVSTs to U.S. populations disproportionately affected by HIV. The NOFO will maximize distribution of HIVSTs to MSM, TGW and Black cis-gender women via digital and traditional marketing strategies from CDC’s Together campaigns, predominately in EHE jurisdictions. The use of the program’s HIVSTs and referrals will increase awareness of HIV infection, prevent new infections, decrease HIV transmission, and improve overall health and well-being of participants.
