policies, and resources.

including facts about HIV/AIDS, statistics, living with HIV/AIDS,
and methods of prevention. It also provides information on funding
for organizations and has a federal clearinghouse of information on
HIV/AIDS.
The Minority HIV/AIDS Initiative is part of HHS's larger
Initiative to Eliminate Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health by
the year 2010. HIV/AIDS is one of that initiative's six focus areas.
HHS is working through its agencies to provide grants for
programs dealing with HIV/AIDS prevention and education, research,

capacity, bilingual/bicultural services, and other special projects.

infrastructure to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
