CFAR's Dr. Arrington-Sanders, along with Commissioner Dr. Leana Wen and Dr. Patrick Chaulk, Assistant Commissioner for HIV and STD services, made the announcement last Friday, September 25 at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African-American History & Culture.
From the Baltimore Sun: "Under the initiative to be developed with two grants from the Centers for Disease Control, city officials will partner directly with 11 community and provider groups in the largest collaboration in recent history to combat HIV, health officials said.
The strategy will focus less on trying to get people to change their sexual behavior and more on testing, treatment and helping people with social problems, such as poverty and drug abuse, that may play into whether they get care."
