Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S.

Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S.

Overview

Discover the transformative impact of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' initiative Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America (EHE) launched in 2020. This groundbreaking program aims to reduce new HIV infections by 90% by 2030!

We collaborate with local partners and leaders from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program in the Midwest to tailor our efforts in seven key EHE Jurisdictions:

• Illinois: Cook County
• Indiana: Marion County
• Michigan: Wayne County
• Ohio: Cuyahoga County, Franklin County, and Hamilton County
• Missouri (entire state)

MATEC offers specialized training and technical assistance to enhance the healthcare workforce's capacity to provide HIV-related services. Whether you're a new healthcare professional or a seasoned expert, our multidisciplinary programs focus on increasing access to HIV testing, treatment, PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), and PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis). We also prioritize combatting HIV stigma and breaking down non-medical barriers to care, and addressing the intersecting syndemics of HIV, viral hepatitis, STIs, COVID, mpox, and substance use and mental health disorders.

Look at the progress being made across the nation in the Regional Champions: Building on Priniples of Ending the HIV Epidemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also highlight success stories to maximize EHE's impact.
