WHAT WE DO & HOW WE DO IT

The Partnership works with policymakers and others to preserve HIV, STD, and hepatitis legislative successes, promote necessary appropriation and funding levels, retain crucial aspects of existing health care coverage, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Medicaid, and build upon the progress Federal programs have made on HIV, STD, and hepatitis prevention, treatment, care, and support over the last several decades.

WHO WE ARE

The HIV, STD & Hepatitis Policy Partnership is a coalition of five of the nation’s leading organizations focused on ending the HIV, STD, and hepatitis epidemics in the United States by sharing resources to advocate for HIV, STD, and hepatitis programs and appropriations. Formed in 2016, the group is comprised of AIDS United, NASTAD, the National Coalition of STD Directors, NMAC, and The AIDS Institute.
