[Prevention Fund Grants] HIV Planning [Amount] $0 [Description] 
CDC awarded grants to expand HIV prevention efforts under the President�s National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS).� The funding, allocated to CDC by the President as part of NHAS, will help to further focus HIV prevention on high risk populations and communities, as well as fill critical gaps in data, knowledge and understanding of the epidemic.�The majority of the grants will support demonstration projects to identify and implement a �combination approach� to enhance effective HIV prevention programming in 12 hard-hit areas across the country.� These efforts will determine what mix of HIV prevention approaches can have the greatest impact in the local area, supplementing existing programs in these communities and helping jurisdictions to better focus efforts on key at-risk populations and fulfill unmet needs.�Grants went to state and local health departments to increase HIV testing opportunities for populations disproportionately affected by HIV and help link HIV-infected persons with appropriate services, as well as to improve the reporting of HIV data.
