Background:

In July 2010, the White House unveiled the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States (NHAS) and the accompanying Federal Implementation Plan. The document was the first wide-reaching effort by the federal government to coordinate efforts on HIV/AIDS across various federal departments, agencies, and programs.

Prior to the release of the Strategy, White House officials sought input from stakeholders across the United States, and held a national listening tour in communities across America.

The National HIV/AIDS Strategy sets forth many goals for HIV prevention, care, and treatment in the United States. AAHIVM is closely monitoring implementation of the strategy.
