(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Let’s Stop HIV Together 

(Together) campaign is a multifaceted 

national communication initiative that 

supports reduction of HIV incidence in 

the United States through multiple, 

concurrent communication and 

education campaigns for a variety of 

audiences, including the general public, 

populations most affected by HIV and 

health care providers. All components 

of the campaign support the 

comprehensive HIV prevention efforts 

of CDC and the Ending the HIV 

Epidemic initiative. 

Within this context, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention’s 

Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention 

(DHAP) is implementing various 

partnership activities to increase HIV 

awareness among the general public, 

reduce new HIV infections among 

disproportionately impacted 

populations, and improve health 

outcomes for people with HIV in United 

States and its territories. For example, 

DHAP is funding the ‘‘Enhancing HIV 

Prevention Communication and 

Mobilization Efforts through Strategic 

Partnerships’’ program. Partners funded 

under the partnership program will (1) 

support the dissemination of Together 

campaign materials, messaging, and 

other CDC resources that support HIV 

prevention and (2) implement national 

engagement efforts focusing on HIV 

prevention and awareness. Partners 

represent civil, media, and LGBTfocused organizations. 

In addition, DHAP will continue to 

support ongoing activities to engage and 

support the private sector in promoting 

HIV education, awareness, and policies 

in the workplace and community. 

Overall, partnership efforts serve to 

increase HIV awareness among the 

general public, reduce new HIV 

infections among disproportionately 

impacted populations, and improve 

health outcomes for people with HIV in 

the United States and its territories. 

The project will evaluate the extent to 

which activities implemented by 

partners meet the initiative’s goals for 

disseminating, communicating, and 

engaging the public in HIV prevention 

and education activities. We will collect 

information from partners on their 

activities for disseminating HIV 

messages through materials distribution 

at national and local events, media and 

advertising, HIV testing facilitation, and 

formation and coordination of strategic 

partnerships; barriers and facilitators to 

implementation of these activities, and 

factors that may help contextualize their 

progress towards meeting the initiative’s 

goals; and their involvement in 

promoting HIV education, awareness, 

and policies in their organization. We 

will collect this information through 

these five sources: (a) Metrics Database: 

Partners will be required to report 

quarterly data to CDC and CDC’s 

evaluation contractor through a metrics 

database. (b) Biannual key informant 

interviews: The point of contacts (POCs) 

from some partner organizations will be 

interviewed twice yearly via telephone. 

(c) Interim Progress Reports: Partners 

will complete a standardized progress 

report on a biannual basis via a userfriendly electronic form. The progress 

reports will gather information on key 

successes, facilitators and barriers, and 

major achievements. (d) Partner Survey: 

Partners will complete a brief online 

survey to assess their involvement in 

promoting HIV education, awareness, 

and policies in their organization. (e) 

Partnerships Activities Form: Partners 

may be asked to complete a brief 

electronic form to provide information 

on each partner activity that they 

complete. The form will collect 

information on information such as the 

type of event, the audience, and key 

highlights; the number of HIV tests 

administered (if any) and the number of 

preliminary positives; the number and 

type of materials distributed. This 

information will allow CDC to know 

what partners are doing to advance HIV 

prevention and education, and how 

CDC can alter their partnership efforts to 

facilitate HIV prevention and education 

in the future. The organization (and not 

the individual) will be the unit of 

analysis. As such, no personally 

individually identifiable information 

will be collected. 

There is no cost to participants other 

than their time. The total estimated 

annualized burden hours are 4,411.

Providers.’’ The purpose of this data 

collection is to understand healthcare 

providers’ interpretation and 

understanding of existing and emergent 

HIV prevention science; understand 

how providers use guidance or 

evidence-based approaches in their 

practices generally and with 

populations that have been largely 

overlooked (e.g., transgender 

individuals, people who inject drugs 

(PWID)); and to inform the development 

and/or revision of messages, concepts 

and materials for healthcare providers 

designed to support patient-provider 

communication about HIV testing, 

prevention, and care in support of the 

U.S. Department of Health and Human 

Services’ Ending the HIV Epidemic.

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

Change—National Center for HIV/AIDS, 

Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention 

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

To address the HIV epidemic in the 

U.S., the Department of Health and 

Human Services launched Ending the 

HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America, 

which is a cross-agency initiative 

aiming to reduce new HIV infections in 

the U.S. by 90% by 2030 (CDC, 2019a). 

CDC’s Let’s Stop HIV Together 

campaign (formerly known as Act 

Against AIDS) is part of the national 

Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative and 

includes resources aimed at reducing 

HIV stigma and promoting testing, 

prevention, and treatment across the 

HIV care continuum. 

Within this context, CDC’s Division of 

HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) has, and 

will continue implementing various 

communication initiatives to increase 

healthcare providers’ awareness of HIV 

testing-, prevention- and treatmentrelated topics; reduce new HIV 

infections among disproportionately 

impacted populations; and improve 

health outcomes for people living with 

HIV/AIDS in the US and its territories. 

Specifically, the initiatives target 

healthcare providers, including primary 

care, and relevant specialties such as 

HIV medicine and infectious disease, 

physicians, physician assistants, and 

nurses. 

The rounds of data collection include 

exploratory, message testing, concept 

testing, and materials testing. 

Information collected by DHAP will be 

used to assess healthcare providers’ 

informational needs about topics related 

to HIV testing, prevention, and 

treatment; pre-test campaign-related 

messages, concepts, and materials; and 

evaluate the extent to which the 

communication initiatives are reaching 

the target audiences and providing them 

with trusted HIV-related information. 

Data collections will include in-depth 

interviews and brief surveys. 

The data gathered under this request 

will be summarized in reports prepared 

for CDC by its contractor, such as 

quarterly and annual reports and topline 

reports that summarize results from 

each data collection. It is possible that 

data from this project will be published 

in peer-reviewed manuscripts or 

presented at conferences; the 

manuscripts and conference 

presentations may appear on the 

internet. The total estimated annualized 

burden hours are 902.

the health departments or maritime 

operators while conducting the contact 

investigation according to their 

established policies and procedures, 

and would be reported to CDC on a 

voluntary basis. This information will 

assist CDC in fulfilling its regulatory 

responsibility to prevent the 

importation of communicable diseases 

from foreign countries (42 CFR part 71) 

and interstate control of communicable 

diseases in humans (42 CFR part 70).
