COMPREHENSIVE HIGH-IMPACT HIV PREVENTION PROGRAMS FOR COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS - DESPITE SIGNIFICANT ADVANCES IN DIAGNOSIS, CARE, AND PREVENTION, HIV/AIDS CONTINUES TO BE A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS IN THE UNITED STATES. THE SITUATION IS MOST ACUTE IN THE SOUTHERN U.S., WHICH EXPERIENCES THE GREATEST BURDEN OF NEW HIV INFECTION, ILLNESS, AND DEATHS OF ANY U.S. REGION. THE SOUTHERN U.S. ACCOUNTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 45% OF ALL PEOPLE LIVING WITH AN HIV DIAGNOSIS IN THE U.S. AND 51% OF ALL NEW HIV DIAGNOSES IN 2018 EVEN THOUGH THE REGION ONLY MAKES UP ONE-THIRD (38%) OF THE U.S. POPULATION.THE BURDEN OF HIV IN THE STATE IS DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH FOR MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN (MSM). AMONG MEN WHOSE RISK FACTORS FOR HIV ARE KNOWN, 85 PERCENT OF MEN REPORTED HAVING MALE-TO-MALE SEXUAL CONTACT.

AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN HAD THE SECOND-HIGHEST HIV INFECTION RATE IN THE STATE; THEREFORE, TESTING, PREVENTION, AND TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL FOR THESE SPECIAL GROUPS.
