Priority Area
Transmissible and Emerging Diseases
Infectious organisms that are primarily acquired and transmitted through sexual activity cause many harmful, often irreversible and costly clinical complications in reproductive, fetal and perinatal health. Other emerging infectious agents pose the threat of disease outbreaks. Prevention, treatment and diagnostic strategies are essential.
Priority Area Goals
1
Eliminate HIV transmission and reduce HIV-related deaths.
2
Reduce sexually transmitted infection rates.
3
This Goal is currently under review.
4
Improve population health by preventing, detecting, and responding to existing and emerging health threats.
