DHAP Annual Report
The Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) recently released its inaugural annual report, Accelerating Progress, Investing for Impact. This report provides an overview of some of the HIV prevention activities conducted and supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during late 2010 to the end of 2011.

High-Impact HIV Prevention; CDC's Approach to Reducing HIV Infections in the United States.
In the United States, prevention has already averted more than 350,000* HIV infections. Now, we have the potential to go much further.
The nation's HIV prevention efforts are guided by a single, ambitious strategy for combating the epidemic: the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). Recent scientific breakthroughs have equipped us with an unprecedented number of effective tools to prevent infection. And in many of the communities hardest hit by HIV, there is growing leadership and momentum for change.

National HIV/AIDS Strategy
The White House has issued a National HIV/ AIDS Strategy (NHAS) for the United States. The strategy reflects many of the approaches CDC believes will make the greatest difference in reducing HIV, such as intensifying prevention for individuals with HIV and those at highest risk of becoming infected with HIV, and targeting resources to the interventions and areas where we can have the greatest impact. CDC embraces this strategy and will work to ensure its HIV Prevention Strategic Plan is consistent with – and responsive to – the NHAS.

DHAP Strategic Plan
DHAP's Strategic Plan 2011-2015 (the Plan) focuses on all aspects of the Division’s work and will serve as a blueprint for operations as DHAP works to align its activities and resources with the national priorities for HIV prevention in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. It builds on recommendation made at the April 2009 External Peer Review of DHAP Surveillance, Research, and HIV Prevention Programs, embodying DHAP’s commitment to high-impact prevention using scalable, cost-effective interventions with demonstrated potential to reduce new infections, in the right populations, to yield a major impact on the epidemic.
Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Planning
The Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Planning (ECHPP) Project is a 3-year demonstration project funded by CDC's Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) for the 12 municipalities with the highest number of people living with AIDS in the United States. As part of the response to the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS), the ECHPP project supports the 12 Cities Project which is directed by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). These two projects directly support NHAS goals by improving program planning and implementation to:
- Reduce new HIV infections
- Link people with HIV to care and treatment and improve health outcomes,
- Reduce HIV-related health disparities, and
- Achieve a more coordinated national response to the HIV epidemic in the United States.
Lessons learned from ECHPP will inform how CDC can best work with health departments, other US government agencies and communities to reach the NHAS goals across the country.
