Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE)

The EHE initiative is scaling up four science-based strategies that can end the epidemic: Diagnose, Treat, Prevent, and Respond. This work includes expanding access to HIV/STI testing in nontraditional settings, increasing PrEP access for un/underinsured persons, and rapidly linking people to essential HIV care and treatment services.

Our Work

Diagnose all people with HIV as early as possible ​

Treat people with HIV rapidly and effectively to reach sustained viral suppression ​

Prevent new HIV transmissions by using proven interventions, including PrEP and syringe services programs ​

Respond quickly to potential HIV outbreaks to get needed prevention and treatment services to people who need them

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (Prep)

reduce your risk of getting HIV

Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U)

A person living with HIV who is on treatment and has an undetectable viral load cannot sexually transmit HIV.
