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
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.
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

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
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.
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
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
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
