Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Branch
Valerie Lockett, EHE Branch Director
Chelsey Flowers, CDC EHE Administrator
Jonathan Joseph, HRSA EHE Program Coordinator
In 2019, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) unveiled the EHE Initiative, a national collaborative response developed and embraced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Health Resources and Services Administration, Indian Health Services, National Institute of Health, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Services Administration. The goal of EHE is to reduce new infections by 75 percent in the next five years and by 90 percent by 2030.
In Alabama, the EHE Initiative is a statewide effort with accelerated efforts to reduce new HIV infections.
To accomplish the goals of the EHE Initiative, Alabama’s plan to eliminate the transmission of HIV and reduce HIV-related deaths align with the EHE pillars.
