Florida's Unified Plan

Florida’s Unified Ending the Epidemic Plan represents the state as a whole and the counties identified as Phase 1 jurisdictions. This plan is a “living” document that will change and grow as implementation begins.

About Ending the HIV Epidemic

"Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America," or EHE for short, was announced during the February 2019 State of the Union Address. The goal of the initiative is to reduce new HIV infections by 75 percent in the next five years and by 90 percent by 2030.

EHE centers around a phased approach to infusing resources to the places that need them most. The first phase of the initiative focuses on the areas where the HIV burden is the highest. Seven of these areas are counties in Florida: Broward, Duval, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Orange, Palm Beach, and Pinellas.

 EHE Phase 1 Area Map Showing Clusters

The pillars of EHE reflect the same strategies as Florida's plan to eliminate HIV transmission and reduce HIV-related deaths.

Diagnose all people with HIV as early as possible after infection. Treat the infection rapidly and effectively to achieve sustained viral suppression. Protect people at risk for HIV using potent and proven prevention interventions, including PrEP, a medication that can prevent HIV infections. Respond rapidly to detect and respond to growing HIV clusters and prevent new HIV infections. HIV HealthForce will establish local teams committed to the success of the Initiative in each jurisdiction.
