Wed, 08/26/2009 - 2:39pm Economic recession threatens to relegate bolder talk to merely good intentions as White House Embarks on Development of a National HIV/AIDS Strategy By Julie Davids and David Ernesto Munar ATLANTA (Aug 25)—Speaking at the Obama Administration’s first national HIV summit, top public health leaders and community activists agree that a paradigm shift in HIV prevention approaches is needed to make progress reducing HIV transmission in the U.S. According to advocates and other experts, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) must work with partners to develop and implement a strategic scale-up of comprehensive, combination HIV prevention strategies in order to achieve population-level decreases in HIV transmission. The aims of a new approach must focus on averting as many HIV infections as possible. And it must expand successful interventions, invest in research and evaluation, and address social drivers such as lack of housing, mass imprisonment, poverty and marginalization. There were tantalizing hints at this week’s conference that CDC may be ready to seek significant changes in federal prevention policy and programs, a shift that would require strong leadership to inspire political buy-in and increased resources. Meanwhile, the new leadership at CDC faces steep challenges contending with an unprecedented economic crisis and competing national priorities that could jeopardize progress to slow the spread of HIV in the U.S. read more » |
