HIV Prevention - Home

Our Mission and Vision

Guided by the principles of public health and social justice, our mission is to promote health and reduce both the impact and incidence of HIV/AIDS by working in partnership with other agencies and diverse community groups.

HIV Prevention Services

HIV Prevention Program staff coordinates its efforts in collaboration with the local health districts, HIV Prevention Planning Groups, HIV-infected and affected communities, state and local HIV prevention providers, and other concerned and committed citizens to improve HIV Prevention service delivery in Nevada.

We ensure:
• The HIV Prevention planning process supports a broad-based participation
• HIV Prevention needs are adequately identified in each jurisdiction
• Resources target those at greatest need and interventions set forth in its Jurisdictional HIV Prevention Plan

Nevada Initiatives

For the first time ever, we have evidence-based tools in HIV treatment and prevention that are so effective, we can end the epidemic.  By focusing on the biomedical, social, and psychological models, we can eliminate new HIV infections, eliminate HIV related deaths, and eliminate HIV related stigma. The HIV Prevention Program and the Ryan White Program are guided by the principles of public health and social equity. They are driven by the mission to promote health and reduce both both impact and incidence of HIV/AIDS by working in partnership with other agencies and diverse community groups. Together we can get to zero – Zero New Infections,  Zero New Deaths, Zero HIV Related Stigma.
