CDC Releases Procedural Guidance on HIV/AIDS Prevention & Care (posted 9/2)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed a guide for community-based-organizations (CBOs) to increase the number of persons living with HIV who know that they are infected and to give them and persons at high risk for HIV infection the best tools available for staying healthy and reducing the chance of giving HIV to others.  These guidelines were developed within the framework of CDC's 2003 initiative, Advancing HIV Prevention: New Strategies for a Changing Epidemic (AHP).  This Procedural Guidance document gives information to help CBOs come up with a plan for delivering interventions.  It will help organizations design prevention programs and recruitment strategies to promote counseling and testing, health education and risk reduction, and other prevention services; counseling, testing, and referral strategies; and interventions to help prevent the spread of HIV to meet the needs of persons living with HIV, their partners, and other persons who are not HIV infected but are at very high risk for HIV.  Click here to download the document from the CDC website.

The Procedural Guidance document does not give all of the information organizations will need to design, deliver, and monitor the interventions suggested in the guidelines.  CDC will help organizations with more training and technical assistance.  Information about the interventions is available at Diffusion of Effective Behavioral Interventions (DEBI) .
