As part of the tiered approach, CDC is focused on community-level interventions in those areas hardest hit by the HIV epidemic. CDC and it funded partners are working to ensure widespread condom availability, syringe access, targeted HIV testing programs, social marketing for behavior change, and social marketing to foster supportive community norms, like safer sex. For HIV positive and very high risk individuals, HIV testing is the first critical step to the prevention of new infections and is a key component of the National Strategy’s goal of reducing HIV infections.

CDC can be a really big help for the fight against HIV.I really think can help peeople from spreading AIDS. This also can give you more details on how you caught it and how you can prevent from spreading it, and more peolpe should take a look into this to see what to do or not to do.

CDC is really making a difference here.Especially with the funding of hiv testings and prevention to those who arent as lucky to have access to. another good thin is using that 42 million donation for othe cbos who assist in monitoring program impact and behavioral outcomes.

CDC seems like a big support for HIV bason on the information i read in the blog. I believe this can help out many people from causing the HIV virus. This can help you explain and clarify how you can cause HIV. Thank you for putting effort in the CDO cities and communities across the nation to help out HIV prevention efforts.

Dr. Fenton,
Thank you for maintaining the CDC Legacy of support to community based organizations. As America moves forward on the quest to reduce new HIV infections, I believe the communities most impacted could benefit from an increased understanding of HIV science.
For example, as I move through the country working with communities of American Black homosexuals, African Americans at large, and other minorities. I remain perplexed at the misinformation in circulation pertaining to HIV in general. Although, we live in information rich time and place, new HIV knowledge reaches these and other American communities too late.
May 1988, C. Everett Coop, Surgeon General sent the largest mailing in American History. The mailing delivered HIV information into 107,000,000 households.
Perhaps, in this time of President Barak Obama, it is your turn to utilize his method of internet and text outreach connected with an old world postage stamp.
A message sent from a doctor with a smile, a Black doctor, using simple language discussing HIV science for all to understand: a catalyst creating a ripple which becomes the wave that shifts the HIV paradigm.
Your blog is great, more folk need to see it.
Best regards,
Borris Powell
