In FY2016, the Minority HIV/AIDS Fund (formerly called the Secretary’s Minority HIV/AIDS Fund) was funded at $53.9 million, which was used to support 33 programs and activities, and administrative resources. These funded activities served one or more racial/ethnic minority groups, risk groups, and disproportionately affected geographic areas. The activities were led by nine HHS Operating Divisions and Staff Offices, who in turn made awards to grantees. All of the activities supported the goals of both the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and the Minority AIDS Initiative by promoting innovation and collaboration across HHS-supported HIV activities, state and local agencies, and community organizations to strengthen HIV prevention and care among racial and ethnic minorities in the United States and bolster the critical focus areas identified in the NHAS: widespread testing and linkage to care; support for people living with HIV to remain engaged in comprehensive care; universal viral suppression; and full access to PrEP services for those for whom it is appropriate and desired.
