Connections Bi-monthly E-newsletter

The Connections Bi-monthly E-newsletter is a publication of the CDC's National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP). It is designed to improve collaboration and strengthen relationships with prevention partners who are vital to NCHHSTP's mission of maximizing public health and safety nationally and internationally through the elimination, prevention, and control of disease, disability, and death caused by HIV/AIDS, non-HIV retroviruses, viral hepatitis, other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), tuberculosis (TB), and non-tuberculosis mycobacteria. The e-newsletter offers the latest surveillance reports, introduces new activities and updates ongoing activities, and shares successes and best practices.
