Our Time Is Now: Fulton County Strategy to End AIDS
On December 1, 2015, World AIDS Day, the Fulton County Task Force on HIV/AIDS, which includes Drs. Vincent Bond and Harold G. Stringer from Morehouse School of Medicine among its members, presented Our Time Is Now: The Strategy to End AIDS in Fulton County. At a time when HIV infections are decreasing across the globe, Fulton County, and metro Atlanta, are epicenters of HIV in America. Ending our epidemic will require a community-wide response, and the Fulton County Task Force on HIV/AIDS is building a Strategy to End AIDS in Fulton County to guide that response.
The full Strategy is due on June 27, 2016. The Goals of the Strategy align with those of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and are:
- To reduce HIV incidence;
- To increase access to care and improve health outcomes so that people living with HIV/AIDS can lead healthy, long lives;
- To reduce HIV-related health care disparities;
- To achieve a more coordinated response to HIV/AIDS.
