Role of NIH in the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the US Initiative: Research Improving Practice

Role of NIH in the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the US Initiative: Research Improving Practice Abstract:In 2019, approximately 1.2 M persons were living with HIV and an estimated 34,800 new HIV infections occurred in the United States (U.S.). Significant disparities in HIV burden exist among persons of color, those with male-to-male sexual contact, young people, and persons experiencing barriers to consistent uptake of HIV interventions and services. These disparities are the root of major gaps in coverage of HIV testing, linkage to prevention and treatment, adherence, and retention in services in the United States. These gaps help fuel the American HIV epidemic. The Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. Initiative (EHE) is built on 4 decades of federal domestic and international responses to HIV/AIDS. As the largest health research agency in the world, the National Institutes for Health (NIH) funds extensive basic, clinical, translational, and implementation HIV research that is crucial to achieving HIV epidemic control. Addressing the gaps and meeting EHE milestones will be accomplished in part through a combination of adaptation, implementation, and scale-up of existing HIV interventions. New discoveries will also be needed to create improved and novel diagnostics, monitor viral loads, and develop new prevention and treatment tools and approaches. HIV implementation research is essential to demonstrate the most effective strategies to facilitate the adaptation, adoption, and integration of evidence-based HIV interventions in real-world settings. This article outlines current NIH research plans to reduce and identify new HIV infections, improve treatment coverage and outcomes among persons with HIV, and effectively respond to HIV transmission outbreaks in the United States. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes Wolters Kluwer Health

Abstract

Abstract:In 2019, approximately 1.2 M persons were living with HIV and an estimated 34,800 new HIV infections occurred in the United States (U.S.). Significant disparities in HIV burden exist among persons of color, those with male-to-male sexual contact, young people, and persons experiencing barriers to consistent uptake of HIV interventions and services. These disparities are the root of major gaps in coverage of HIV testing, linkage to prevention and treatment, adherence, and retention in services in the United States. These gaps help fuel the American HIV epidemic. The Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. Initiative (EHE) is built on 4 decades of federal domestic and international responses to HIV/AIDS. As the largest health research agency in the world, the National Institutes for Health (NIH) funds extensive basic, clinical, translational, and implementation HIV research that is crucial to achieving HIV epidemic control. Addressing the gaps and meeting EHE milestones will be accomplished in part through a combination of adaptation, implementation, and scale-up of existing HIV interventions. New discoveries will also be needed to create improved and novel diagnostics, monitor viral loads, and develop new prevention and treatment tools and approaches. HIV implementation research is essential to demonstrate the most effective strategies to facilitate the adaptation, adoption, and integration of evidence-based HIV interventions in real-world settings. This article outlines current NIH research plans to reduce and identify new HIV infections, improve treatment coverage and outcomes among persons with HIV, and effectively respond to HIV transmission outbreaks in the United States.
