• Achieving health equity with a focus on populations and jurisdictions with the greatest need.
• Increasing the uptake of PrEP among those who could benefit from this prevention method.
• Accelerating public/private partnerships to help reach communities most impacted by HIV.
• Increasing access to substance use disorder treatment and mental health services.  
• Modernizing and repealing outdated HIV criminalization laws.
