The HIV/AIDS Program coordinates statewide HIV/AIDS prevention and
care services for Iowa residents. The HIV/AIDS Program consists of
these components: Prevention, Care & Support Services, Data & Disease
Reporting, and an HIV/AIDS/Hepatitis Integration Project.

Prevention Activities - The Prevention Program works with local health
departments and community-based organizations to provide free HIV
counseling and testing services, health education and risk reduction
activities, and health communication/public information activities for
high-risk individuals. IDPH also provides services for newly diagnosed
people, including free counseling and testing of partners; referrals
for drug treatment, case management, mental health services; and
individual counseling on protecting their partners from acquiring HIV.

Care & Support Services - The Ryan White Title II Program, which
includes the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, collaborates with local
health departments and community-based organizations to provide
HIV/AIDS medications and essential health and support services to low
income, HIV-infected individuals and their families.

Data & Disease Reporting - The Surveillance Program collects,
analyzes, and compiles data on the HIV and AIDS epidemic in Iowa.
Reports are issued to characterize the distribution of HIV infection
and AIDS in terms of geography, race, sex, age, and associated causal
factors. These data are essential tools for planning and evaluation
prevention and care programs, and for ensuring that funds are targeted
to those most in need and most affected by the epidemic.

Hepatitis Integration Project - The HIV/AIDS/Hepatitis Program offers
free testing for Hepatitis C and vaccinations for Hepatitis A and
Hepatitis B for persons at risk for these diseases. For more
information, see Prevention Activities below.
