NYC Ending the HIV Epidemic Community Survey

Survey Overview

You are invited to provide direct feedback and recommendations on New York City’s Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America jurisdictional plan by taking part in the survey below. The survey should take about 15-20 minutes to complete.
The New York City Health Department (NYC HD) coordinates New York City (NYC)’s response to the HIV epidemic, including HIV testing initiatives; prevention, care, and treatment programming; surveillance; training and technical assistance; policy advocacy; community engagement; social marketing; and racial equity and social justice initiatives. NYC has prioritized five strategies to reduce the number of new HIV infections to non-epidemic levels and improve the health and well-being of New Yorkers with HIV:
  • Strategy 1: Increase the number of people who know their HIV status by diagnosing HIV infection as early as possible, promoting routine testing within health care facilities, and scaling up testing options in non-clinical settings;
  • Strategy 2: Prevent new HIV acquisition by increasing access to effective prevention interventions, including PrEP, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), condoms, harm reduction, and supportive services;
  • Strategy 3: Improve viral suppression and other health outcomes for people with HIV by optimizing medication adherence and access to care, improving coordination of clinical and supportive services, and increasing access to immediate antiretroviral treatment;
  • Strategy 4: Enhance methods to identify and intervene on HIV transmission networks to better support people and communities at increased risk of exposure; and
  • Strategy 5: In all strategies, utilize an intersectional, strengths-based, anti-stigma, and community-driven approach to mitigate racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other systems of oppression that create and exacerbate HIV-related health inequities.
In February 2019, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America (EHE: A Plan for America) which aims to reduce new HIV infections by 75% in five years, and by 90% in 10 years. EHE: A Plan for America focuses on four pillars: Diagnose, Treat, Prevent, and Respond.
