Abstract
The National HIV/AIDS Strategy for 2022-2025 and the federal Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative1,2 have an ambitious goal of dramatically reducing new HIV infections in the United States. by 90% by 2030. While we have the tools to achieve that, the persistent barriers to healthcare services experienced by too many individuals will need to be addressed to make significant progress and improve the health and quality of life of all people living with HIV. The necessary structural changes require actions by federal, state and local policymakers and range from ensuring universal access to healthcare services to optimizing care delivery to ensuring a robust and diverse ID and HIV workforce. This paper outlines ten key principles for policy reforms that if advanced would make ending the HIV epidemic in the U.S. possible and could have much more far-reaching effects in improving the health of our nation.
