Mission Statement

To prevent and control the spread of HIV and STDs through epidemiological surveillance, implementation of evidence-based programs, coordination of prevention, care and treatment services, and the creation of policies that promote health.

Description

In 2011, in keeping with National efforts to better integrate HIV and STD public health efforts, the Department of Public Health combined the HIV Epidemiology Program, the Office of AIDS Programs and Policy, and the Sexually Transmitted Disease Program to form the Division of HIV and STD Programs (DHSP). DHSP continues to work closely and collaboratively with community-based organizations, other governmental offices, advocates, and people living with HIV/AIDS as it seeks to control the spread of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases, monitor HIV/AIDS and STD morbidity and mortality, increase access to care for those in need, and eliminate HIV-related health inequalities.
