THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES

National Academy of Sciences

National Academy of Engineering

Institute of Medicine

National Research Council

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy of Sciences.

The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. William A. Wulf is president of the National Academy of Engineering.

The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Kenneth I. Shine is president of the Institute of Medicine.

The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy’s purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. William A. Wulf are chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National Research Council.

Preface

Through 1999, more than 733,000 acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) cases and 430,000 deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and AIDS have been reported in the United States. Prevention efforts conducted by federal, state, and local government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector have shown considerable success in slowing the rapid growth of the epidemic. However, the demographic face of the epidemic is changing dramatically; this in turn, is changing how the nation must respond. Men who have sex with men remain at high risk in many areas. However, racial and ethnic minorities, women, adolescents, and young adults are increasingly affected by HIV/AIDS. In addition, recent improvements in the treatment of HIV disease have enabled more people to live longer with HIV and AIDS, but have contributed to a growing complacency toward the disease. The promise of a vaccine for HIV remains only a hope, not a reality.

Given these challenges, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) requested that the Institute of Medicine convene a committee to conduct a comprehensive review of current HIV prevention efforts in the United States. Specifically, this Committee on HIV Prevention Strategies in the United States was asked to review the HIV prevention efforts of the CDC and other Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) agencies, as well as the efforts of various other public and private sector

agencies and organizations, and to examine the changing nature of the epidemic, advances in clinical prevention and treatment, evaluations of public health interventions, and emerging research in the behavioral sciences and its impact on HIV prevention. Based on this review, the Committee was asked to propose a visionary framework for future national HIV prevention activities and suggest institutional roles for the CDC and other federal, public, and private sector agencies in the context of this framework.

The Committee met four times over a 5-month period between January and May 2000. During this time, we held three workshops with a variety of federal agencies, state and local organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and researchers regarding current HIV prevention activities. The Committee engaged in several additional data gathering activities to gain input regarding HIV prevention efforts at the federal, state, and local levels. These activities included site visits to several state health departments, a site visit to the Community Planning Leadership Summit conference in Los Angeles, and a request for public comment. The Committee also reviewed the current literature and received a significant amount of information from our liaison panel, which was comprised of representatives of federal, state and local agencies and organizations, as well as of advocacy and research organizations (listed on pages vii–ix). Based on this evidence, the Committee identified the fundamental components of a visionary framework for a national HIV prevention strategy. These components are described and explained in the subsequent chapters of this report.

Given the broad scope of the Committee’s charge, the complexity of the issues, and the limited time allowed for conducting the work and writing the report (seven months), we made several important decisions regarding how we would approach the task. First, the Committee chose to focus on a framework of principles to guide future HIV prevention efforts, rather than to develop a detailed road map for conducting HIV prevention activities. Second, the Committee chose as a starting point for this framework the principle that the nation should have an explicit prevention goal: to avert as many new HIV infections as possible with the resources available for HIV prevention. While this may seem an obvious goal, we found that many current HIV prevention efforts are inconsistent with this principle.

The Committee recognized that there are a number of factors that can undermine public health goals, including those related to HIV prevention:

  • inappropriate considerations are used to frame policy choices;

Page xiii Cite
Suggested Citation:"Front Matter." Institute of Medicine. 2001. No Time to Lose: Getting More from HIV Prevention. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. doi: 10.17226/9964.
×
  • suboptimal decision rules are applied to the problem;

  • social values and prejudices do not support the policy goal;

  • insufficient resources hinder the successful implementation of the policy goal;

  • organizational or structural factors impede implementation of policies;

  • failures in implementation, related to such factors as inadequate training or lack of operating capacity, detract from the desired outcome of averting new infections.

In light of the Committee’s limited time frame and our desire to provide a guiding framework, we chose to focus on the first three factors: framing HIV prevention policy choices, decision making for allocating federal prevention funds, and overcoming social obstacles to success.

The Committee’s visionary framework for HIV prevention suggests new directions for HIV/AIDS surveillance, resource allocation, the incorporation of prevention into the clinical setting, technology development, and the translation of research into practice. We also discuss the social and political barriers that continue to limit the success of HIV prevention. Although many of these barriers have been addressed in previous Institute of Medicine and other public health reports, the Committee felt it would be unconscionable not to restate its opposition to these powerful forces that have impeded prevention efforts.

The Committee is aware that in providing this set of principles to guide future HIV prevention activities, several aspects of the framework will require the gathering and application of better data, as well as the development of closer working relationships between federal, state, and local agencies, before recommendations can be fully implemented. We nevertheless, believe that these factors do not detract from the importance of a sound foundation for decision making. It simply means that the organizations and institutions involved in HIV prevention should work toward these goals using the best available data while seeking sounder data with which to better inform future decisions.

While the Committee observed ample evidence of the lack of federal leadership in HIV prevention, we do not focus on this issue in this report. Today, many different agencies share responsibility for federal HIV prevention activities (see Appendix C), and sometimes compete for resources and public attention.

While federal officials and agencies have tried several different leadership models to better coordinate and lead HIV prevention efforts, none has yet been very effective in bringing about the type of overarching

Suggested Citation:"Front Matter." Institute of Medicine. 2001. No Time to Lose: Getting More from HIV Prevention. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. doi: 10.17226/9964.
×

guidance that is needed to coordinate federal prevention agencies and activities, as well as to bring together the wide variety of DHHS, non-DHHS, and outside constituencies that are involved in HIV prevention efforts. Previous studies have examined these issues and made recommendations to resolve interagency1 and intra-agency2 coordination and leadership problems. The Committee joins these panels and others in calling for a unified framework for managing federal HIV prevention activities. Reclaiming federal leadership of the nation’s HIV prevention strategy requires better coordination of efforts that are currently too dispersed.

Additionally, the Committee’s charge was limited to examining HIV prevention efforts in the United States. However, we believe that significant attention must also be directed to improving HIV prevention efforts at the global level, and to doing more to ameliorate the devastating impact that HIV/AIDS has had on the health and social and economic welfare of developing nations.

The Committee has been motivated by the conviction that the nation can and should do more to prevent HIV infection, and that the efforts to bring these objectives to fruition must begin now. The past two decades of HIV prevention activities are a testament to the fact that prevention is effective. And, given the social complacency that has emerged along with the recent therapeutic advances in HIV treatment, prevention will be even more important in the decades to come. The Committee believes that there is still much to be done, and that the successful experiences of other countries’ HIV prevention efforts—particularly those demonstrating the critical importance of political leadership and commitment, community mobilization, and the removal of social barriers—provide some valuable “lessons learned” for future HIV prevention activities in the United States. Given this, the Committee remains firm in our conviction that the nation, working in a coordinated manner and with due haste, can do more to slow and perhaps even halt the spread of this deadly epidemic.
