On Jul. 31, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded $109 million to state and local health departments to accelerate progress in the fight to end the HIV epidemic in the U.S.

The award is part of a five-year funding program, which is part of the federal initiative Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America. This award will expand efforts in the 50 local areas that account for most new U.S. HIV infections and in seven states with a substantial rural burden of HIV.
