Prevention of HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STDs, and Tuberculosis requires across-the-board partners and programs. NCHHSTP assists program planners and prevention partners working in the field with their outreach efforts.
Programs for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis
Today’s public health challenges require collaboration and coordination on the part of a wide variety of individuals, stakeholders, and partners. To meet these challenges, CDC's National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP) works with a wide range of constituents to create and sustain mutually beneficial strategic relationships to advance disease prevention and control. By doing so, NCHHSTP and our partners are able to accomplish more than any individual, organization, or institution can by working alone.
