End the Epidemics
California has the tools to end the HIV, STI and hepatitis C epidemics, but we lack a comprehensive statewide plan outlining a path forward. Inequitable funding widens disparities and current plans lack coordination, input and buy-in from key state departments. Although some municipalities are making headway, other parts of our state are being left behind, and California lags other states addressing HIV, HCV and STIs in all counties.
We need a statewide plan to end the HIV, hep C and STI epidemics. We need your support to reach elected officials.
