"The National HIV/AIDS Strategy and the National Viral Hepatitis Action Plan are important national frameworks designed to facilitate collaboration across the HIV and hepatitis communities and to put us on a path to eliminate HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Please join us to provide input as we update them!"—Dr. Tammy Beckham, Director, Office of HIV/AIDS and Infectious Disease Policy
