About the HIV/STD/TB Program
 
The HIV/Sexually Transmitted Disease/Tuberculosis (HST) Program operates as a part of the Office of Disease Prevention and Epidemiology in the Oregon Department of Human Services. There are five sections within HST: Data and Analysis, HIV Client Services, HIV Community Prevention, Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD), and Tuberculosis (TB).
 
The basic public health functions of the HST program are:
  • Analyze and report epidemiologic data on HIV, STD and TB infections.
  • Develop, implement and evaluate evidence-driven population-based prevention programs.
  • Educate Oregonians about the impact of HIV, STD and TB infections.
  • Assist in the development of local and national public policy related to the prevention and care of these infections.
  • Coordinate with and inform other agencies of the services available to persons affected by these diseases.
