This program is described at 93.193 in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA).BackgroundThis competitive continuation seeks to expand OUIHP&#146;s existing Title V grants to increase the number of American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) with awareness of his/her HIV status. This will provide routine and/or rapid HIV screening, prevention, pre- and post- test counseling (when appropriate).
