New CDPH Agenda Places HIV/AIDS Prevention among its Top Priorities
The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) recently released its latest health care agenda, Healthy Chicago, which serves as a “blueprint for action intended to serve as a framework for a focused, yet comprehensive, approach to how the CDPH will lead and work with partners to improve the health and well-being of Chicagoans.” The city has listed HIV prevention as one of its top priorities in making Chicago a healthier city.
The AIDS Foundation of Chicago supports CDPH’s aggressive agenda for preventing and treating HIV and AIDS, which includes advocating for both State and Federal funding for increased access to HIV medications through the AIDS Drug Assistance Program; providing greater access to HIV prevention education, prevention materials, and testing services; and decreasing the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS.
We look forward to working with the Chicago Department of Public Health on implementing these goals and ensuring that the appropriate resources are put into place(1) to reduce the rate of new HIV infections and (2) to provide effective treatment to those living with HIV and AIDS in Chicago.
