HIV-STD-TB Programs 

The HIV/Sexually Transmitted Disease/Tuberculosis (HST) Program performs these functions:

  • Analyze and report epidemiologic data on HIV, STD and TB infections
  • Develop, implement and evaluate evidence-driven population-based prevention programs
  • Educate Oregonians about the impact of HIV, STD and TB infections
  • Assist in the development of local and national public policy related to the prevention and care of these infections and
  • Coordinate with and inform other agencies of the services available to persons affected by these diseases.
The HIV Case Management program's vision is to create a program that provides high quality, cost effective services that promote access to and ongoing success in HIV treatment for people with HIV/AIDS in Oregon.
We focus prevention services based on: making HIV testing a routine part of medical care; implementing new models for diagnosing HIV infections outside medical settings; preventing new infections; and further decreasing perinatal HIV transmission.
The mission of the HIV Program is to reduce the spread of HIV and promote the health of HIV-infected Oregonians. The HIV Surveillance - Data and Analysis - Section reports and records cases and incidence rates of HIV/AIDS for the state.
The Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) program prevents and controls infections with a primary focus on identification and treatment through screening and referral of exposed sex partners for evaluation and treatment.
To control the spread of TB in Oregon, the TB Program works to: identify and treat TB disease; identify, evaluate, and treat newly infected contacts to infectious TB cases; and screen high-risk populations for TB infection.
