In December 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the National Institutes of Health, the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (ANAC), and four other nongovernmental organizations issued the Recommendations for HIV Prevention with Adults and Adolescents with HIV in the United States (CDC et  al., 2014a). The guideline includes recommendations on provision and delivery of services for HIV prevention, care, and treatment to people living with HIV (PLWH) to succeed in reaching and advancing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) prevention and care goals and objectives, including: avert n ew cases of HIV infection, increase the proportion of PLWH who are aware of their infection, and reduce HIV-related illnesses, death, and health disparities (The White House Office of National AIDS Policy, 2015).
