NHAS Vision
The United States will become a place where new HIV infections are rare and when they do occur, every person, regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic circumstance, will have unfettered access to high quality, life-extending care, free from stigma and discrimination.
In July 2010, the White House released NHAS, a comprehensive roadmap for reducing the impact of HIV.7 The Strategy sets clear priorities and targets for HIV prevention and care in the United States, and calls on government agencies and their public and private partners to align efforts toward a common purpose.
NHAS lays out clear priorities for increasing the impact of HIV prevention efforts:
- Intensify HIV prevention in the communities where HIV is most heavily concentrated
- Expand targeted use of effective combinations of evidence-based HIV prevention approaches
- Educate all Americans about the threat of HIV and how to prevent it
