Additional Information on Eligibility: This program is limited to national medical associations that work with practicing primary care providers for that treat both men and women. The purpose of the program is to reduce barriers to early diagnosis of HIV infection and increase access to quality medical care, treatment, and ongoing prevention services for men and women infected with HIV among populations disproportionately impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. National medical associations are critical in setting standards of care and raising policy issues to the national level and are very credible to practicing providers. These associations serve as a major trusted source for information, data, research, and advocacy on key issues affecting delivery of health care. They provide education, training, technical assistance, and leadership development to physicians. Physician surveys have shown that physicians are not comfortable asking patients about their sexual behavior and drug use. National medical associations can provide physicians with technical assistance and training on delivering HIV prevention messages to their patients by (1) incorporating CDC-designed HIV risk-reduction interventions into patients clinic visits; (2) providing training on speaking with patients about sexual and drug-use behaviors and on giving explanations in simple, everyday language; (3) providing technical assistance on interventions that have demonstrated effectiveness; and (4) providing information on resources that address risk reduction. The associations must have the capability to reach a broad constituency of providers that serve both men and women to assure the dissemination of consistent HIV prevention messages nationwide. National medical associations will then develop objectives for their programs and provide information on whether these objectives have been met. All the activities listed above are required and must be addressed in the application or the applicant will be declared ineligible.
