The initiative aims to implement innovative strategies and services to significantly decrease new HIV and HCV cases. Key goals include reducing new HIV infections nationwide to under 3,000 annually by 2030, and achieving a 90% reduction in new HCV infections with a 65% decrease in mortality compared to a 2015 baseline, ultimately fostering healthier AI/AN communities.
