HHS-DPBH - COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
101-3215
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The mission of the HIV/AIDS Section is to work with local health authorities and the general public to prevent and control communicable and sexually transmitted diseases (STD), including
HIV, AIDS, chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, and hepatitis in Nevada. The Sexually Transmitted Disease Program, the HIV/AIDS Surveillance Program, and the Hepatitis Program were
transferred to budget account 3219, Biostatistics and Epidemiology, in state fiscal year 2012. The base budget includes the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program
provided by Housing and Urban Development, HIV Prevention program, Federal Ryan White Comprehensive Care Act program and Rebates used to support the program.
The HIV/AIDS Section consists of the following: HIV Prevention, Ryan White CARE Part B, AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), and Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS.
The program's functions are achieved through collaborative relationships with public and community-based organizations, local health authorities, community members, and other key
stakeholders.
Primary activities of HIV Prevention include: coordination of statewide HIV community planning and the development of an annual comprehensive HIV prevention plan; the provision of
training and technical assistance to local health authorities and community-based organizations that offer screening and testing; risk reduction education and counseling; drug treatment; and
other community-based wellness activities. Additionally, the HIV Prevention Program is tasked with ensuring that new Center For Disease Control HIV prevention strategies and initiatives
are implemented statewide. This ensures that Nevadans are receiving the latest behavioral interventions available.
Primary activities of Ryan White CARE Part B program include the provision of HIV/AIDS medications and community-based services to individuals infected and affected with HIV/AIDS.
Medications, treatments, and other services are provided through agreements with community-based organizations, pharmacies, and HIV/AIDS specialty clinics. Program income consists of
340B drug rebates received on drugs purchased and is used to support the program. This program income remains with the subgrantee and is added to resources committed to the project to
further objectives and cover program costs. Rebate revenue has increased significantly in the last three years. Additional services will be added in state fiscal years 14 and 15 and will be
funded with this increase in revenue. See the E225 decision unit for additional information.
HOPWA provides housing assistance and supportive services for individuals living with HIV/AIDS. HOPWA funding is utilized to establish, coordinate and develop housing assistance
resources or to acquire, maintain or repair facilities. Services are provided through a contract with a community-based organization.
Statutory Authority: NRS 441A and NRS 439.
