The overarching goals of the consultation
were to identify possible HIV prevention
strategies for underserved African American
women most affected by HIV/AIDS and to
develop strategies aligned with the
Heightened National Response action

achieve those goals, participants aimed to
meet the stated objectives within each of
the following four focus areas outlined in
the CDC action plan:

prevention services

to expand prevention services for African

Focus Area 2. Increasing opportunities
for diagnosing and treating HIV

Focus Area 3. Developing new, effective
prevention interventions

on effective ways to reduce risk behaviors
that lead to HIV infection in African
American women.
Focus Area 4. Mobilizing broader
community action

action for greater awareness, communication,
