At a glance

CDC’s National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention’s (NCHHSTP) Strategic Plan 2022-2026 articulates the vision, mission, core values, guiding principles, strategies, and overarching goals to influence and enhance our programs.

Vision

A future free of HIV, viral hepatitis, STIs, and tuberculosis.

Mission

Prevent infections, morbidity, mortality, health inequities, and stigma associated with HIV, viral hepatitis, STIs, and tuberculosis in the United States

Excellence

Achieve the highest standard of performance in public health science, program, communications, and policy. Value the scientific method, seek truth, and use evidence to guide decision-making. Devote time and resources to recruit, train, and support employees to perform at the highest levels. Encourage and facilitate knowledge-sharing to build expertise and better serve the nation. Foster an environment that encourages innovation and values new ideas

Equity

Enhance research, policy, and program efforts to advance health equity and address disparities in the diseases and infections addressed by the Center.

Integrity

Be honest, accurate, and consistent in sharing information and communicating with colleagues, the public, and elected officials. Adhere to the highest standards of conduct and be courageous in correcting errors. Promote the highest standards of ethics in all Center activities. Be a diligent and accountable steward of public resources in achieving NCHHSTP’s public health mission.

Transparency

Ensure staff, partners, and the public have timely access to accurate and complete information.

High Impact Prevention

Maximize impact through research and implementation of cost-effective, scalable, and feasible evidence-based interventions, programs, and policies.

Cross-Sector Collaboration

Enhance partnerships, coordination, and community engagement to amplify reach, develop and implement effective policies, and address the social determinants of health. Acknowledge that overlapping populations are affected by HIV, STIs, viral hepatitis, and Tuberculosis, and recognize the value of syndemic approaches to serving them.

Equity

Embed equity principles in the design, implementation, and evaluation of research, surveillance, data analysis, and programmatic and policy strategies.

Maximize the Use of Surveillance and Other Data to Drive Program Improvement

Increase efficiency in analysis and interpretation of surveillance, program, and other data. Regularly assess, and revise as needed, current surveillance elements. Refine governance, management, and protection of data. Disseminate and use data to inform program delivery and improvement.

Support Scientific Discovery, Implementation Research, and Evaluation of Interventions

Promote implementation and evaluation science, as well as applied research, to identify opportunities for innovation and to disseminate scientifically grounded guidance to the public health and healthcare communities.

Increase Collaboration and Service Integration

Enhance engagement, knowledge sharing, and transparency across internal and external disease programs and partners to maximize the reach and effectiveness of programs and services.

Promote Prevention, Detection, and Treatment through Healthcare Delivery Systems

Collaborate with domestic health care delivery programs and systems and train providers in effort to increase testing, treatment, and prevention of HIV, STIs, viral hepatitis, and TB infections.

Promote Protective Systems and Policies and Increase Knowledge and Adoption of Healthy Behaviors

Support positive behavior change, risk reduction, and protective factors by implementing strategies at the population, community, school, and individual levels.

Use Guidelines and Policy to Improve Public Health

Publish guidelines, recommendations, and best practices to improve the delivery and effectiveness of healthcare and to prevent disease. Develop and disseminate tools, trainings, and resources that support science-based policy and decision-making.

Recent NCHHSTP Accomplishments

NCHHSTP works to reduce incidence of infection, morbidity and mortality, and health disparities in the U.S. and abroad. Recent examples of achieving these goals include new and updated clinical and testing guidelines, working with partners on developing and disseminating tests to detect disease, and releasing data to inform public health action.

Goals and Indicators

Every year, millions of people in the United States are infected with HIV, viral hepatitis, STIs, or TB, and tens of thousands die from their infection. Most of these infections share commonalities, from modes of transmission to demographic, social, and economic conditions that increase risk. As a prevention leader, NCHHSTP focuses on high impact prevention and control efforts to reduce incidence, morbidity, mortality, and health disparities due to these infections.

The four overarching goals highlighted in this plan are to:

• Reduce Incidence of HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STIs, and Tuberculosis
• Reduce Morbidity and Mortality of HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and Tuberculosis Infections
• Reduce Disparities and Promote Health Equity
• Achieve Organizational Excellence
