Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S.

Today we have the Right Data, Right Tools, and Right Leadership to end the HIV epidemic.

Background

The federal Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) initiative is an ongoing effort to reduce the number of new HIV infections in the United States by at least 90% by 2030.

In February 2020: HHS awarded $117 Million to End the HIV Epidemic in the U.S., which included:

  • Nearly $54 million to 195 health centers with service delivery sites in geographic locations identified by the EHE initiative
  • Approximately $63 million to 60 HIV/AIDS Bureau EHE recipients to link people with HIV who are either newly diagnosed, or are diagnosed but currently not in care, to essential HIV care and treatment and support services, as well as to provide workforce training and technical assistance

In March 2021: HRSA awarded $99 Million to End the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. to 61 HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau EHE recipients to expand access to HIV care, treatment, medication and essential support services.

In September 2021: HRSA awarded over $48 million to 271 HRSA-funded health centers with service delivery sites in geographic locations identified by the EHE initiative. A subset of the 195 original awardees received funding to expand ongoing participation in EHE activities; this subset totaled 163 centers.

In June 2022: HRSA awarded nearly $115 million to support Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. to 60 HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) EHE recipients. The awards support innovative strategies that help people with HIV access care, support, and treatment services to live longer, healthier lives.

In August 2022: HRSA awarded more than $20 million in funding to expand HIV prevention, testing, and treatment services at health centers nationwide. The funding builds on over $100 million in previously awarded EHE funding to more than 300 health centers, and will fund additional health centers in the counties, territories, and states identified as a part of the EHE initiative.

In April 2023: HRSA awarded more than $147 million to 49 HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau EHE recipients to advance the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. initiative. This funding will help states and metropolitan areas with the highest levels of HIV transmission link people with HIV to essential care, support, and treatment, as well as support training and other resources for these jurisdictions.
