HIV/AIDS prevalence data to Part A and Part
B areas to assist with grant and formula calculations.

Epidemiologic Profiles was developed by
CDC and HRSA for use in prevention and care
planning and working together on developing
methods for estimating unmet need. |

HIV Stigma: Theory,
Reality, and Response outlines research
gaps, training opportunities and existing
programs that have reduced HIV stigma. |
Advancing HIV
Prevention: New Strategies for a Changing
Epidemic. Is a CDC initiative with HRSA
involvement, whose focus is on reducing barriers
to early diagnosis of HIV infection and increasing
access to quality medical care, treatment,
and ongoing prevention services. |

therapy (DOT) in enhancing adherence to HIV
medications for PLWH. |
Integrated
Case Management Project is an effort by HRSA,
CDC, SAMHSA, the Department of Justice, and
HUD examining case management models and examples
of coordinated case management services provided

the possibility of gaps, overlaps and duplication
of casement services for agencies serving
the needs of those living with HIV. |

Abuse and Mental Health |
HIV/AIDS Treatment Adherence
Health Outcomes and Cost Study seeks to
(1) identify costs associated with providing

approach to care improves treatment adherence,
produces better health outcomes, and reduces
overall costs associated with HIV treatment.
