Stop HIV Iowa Plan—Draft for Feedback

We asked more than 3,000 people to help us identify what it would take to stop HIV in Iowa. Their responses to our questions helped create the draft strategies listed below. 

Now we want to gather even more input and to hear your thoughts: 

  • Which strategies will work and which might not be as effective?
  • Which strategies don’t go far enough or which might be too ambitious?
  • What additional ideas should be included?
This plan belongs to all of us. Help us shape our goals, prioritize the work, and direct the resources to where it matters most.

Goal 1: Prevent New HIV Infections

Objective 1.1  Increase awareness of HIV. 

Strategy 1.1.1  Develop, implement, and evaluate culturally responsive campaigns, interventions, and resources to raise awareness of HIV among the general public and disproportionately impacted populations. 

Strategy 1.1.2   Increase availability of, and access to, culturally responsive sexual education and outreach programs for youth. 

Objective 1.2  Increase knowledge of HIV status.

Strategy 1.2.1  Implement HIV, STI, and HCV testing in places that have the potential to serve as key points of entry, including county jails, prisons, substance use prevention and treatment settings, and community-based harm reduction service organizations. 

Strategy 1.2.2  Incorporate a status-neutral approach to HIV testing to include social support services for all people regardless of test result.

Strategy 1.2.3  Develop and expand implementation of effective models for testing, such as opt-out testing and conducting sexual histories in medical settings, free testing, home-based testing, express testing, incentivized testing, and service delivery outside of traditional business hours and physical locations.

Strategy 1.2.4  Increase awareness of and promote concurrent testing (HIV, STI, and HCV), preventative sexual health services (e.g., hepatitis A/B and HPV vaccination), and harm reduction among providers and the general public.

Strategy 1.2.5  Provide partner services to people diagnosed with HIV or other STIs and their sexual and/or syringe-sharing partners.

Objective 1.3  Expand and improve implementation of safe, effective prevention interventions, including treatment as prevention, PrEP, nPEP, and SSPs.

Strategy 1.3.1  Expand awareness of  treatment as prevention by amplifying  the Undetectable=Untransmittable (U=U) message.

Strategy 1.3.2  Increase access, uptake, and maintenance of  PrEP. 

Strategy 1.3.3  Increase access to nPEP. 

Strategy 1.3.4  Support policy change that improves access to safe, effective prevention interventions (e.g., SSPs, pharmacists prescribing PrEP and nPEP).  

Strategy 1.3.5  Maintain a condom distribution system and expand the availability of information related to efficacy and correct use. 

Strategy 1.3.6  Standardize processes and procedures to identify populations and areas (geographic) experiencing a disproportionate burden of diagnoses. Prioritize these populations and locations for testing, education, and prevention intervention strategies.  

Strategy 1.3.7  Implement widespread holistic trauma-informed, healing-centered approaches in those organizations that serve disproportionately impacted populations with a focus on service delivery and evaluation; physical environment; client-centered practices; workforce training and development.

Objective 1.4  Increase the diversity and capacity of healthcare delivery systems, community health, public health, and the health workforce to prevent and diagnose HIV.

Strategy 1.4.1  Diversify the HIV workforce so that the composition of HIV care and prevention frontline staff is proportionate to the diagnosis and prevalence rates of disproportionately impacted populations and reflects their lived experience.

Strategy 1.4.2  Provide resources, training, and technical assistance to primary care providers to expand workforce and systems capacity to provide or link people to culturally responsive and linguistically appropriate HIV testing, prevention, and supportive services especially in areas with shortages that are geographic, population, or facility based. 

Strategy 1.4.3  Provide training, technical assistance, certification, supervision, financing, and team-based service delivery to support the prevention workforce.  

Strategy 1.4.4  Implement HIV, STI, and viral hepatitis testing and prevention education requirements into healthcare provider licensure requirements.
