It also indicates the negative effect structural problems, like intergenerational poverty or systemic racism, have on health outcomes regardless of advancements in HIV treatment and prevention. This speaks to the urgent need for us to view public health practices with an equity lens.
This is what our plan, Ending the HIV Epidemic in Philadelphia, does. It is not a special project or one-year grant funded program. It also is not a work plan for the Health Department only. This plan serves as our region’s HIV strategic plan, guiding everything we do to reach a 75 percent reduction in new HIV infections by 2025.
