The majority of these funds are passed through OHA from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Funds are targeted for evidenced-based, promising, or pilot HIV/STD prevention activities, including, but not limited to CTRS (i.e., staff time for testing and prevention services, test kits, and prevention supplies). All monies are dependent on the availability of resources. The funding period will begin July 1, 2023, and end June 30, 2025.
