Ending the HIV Epidemic
Grant Overview
As the U.S. continues to respond to COVID-19, increased investments in the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) initiative are vital to regain momentum, advance innovation, and achieve health equity.
The EHE initiative is scaling up four science-based strategies that can end the epidemic: Diagnose, Treat, Prevent, and Respond. For maximum impact, CDC is continuing to invest in communities most affected by HIV — to help local HIV programs recover, rebuild, and begin to expand EHE strategies in the wake of COVID-19.
Outreach to deliver key prevention strategies, like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), will be expanded and strengthened in settings like STD clinics and syringe services programs, which are critical to reaching people at risk for HIV who may not otherwise have access to healthcare.
These investments are part of a bold U.S. Department of Health and Human Services-wide initiative that strives to end the HIV epidemic in the United States by 2030. If sufficient resources become available, the initiative will eventually expand to other areas.
The initiative’s goal is to reduce the number of new HIV infections in the U.S. by:
