Description: This announcement supports integration of diagnostic and prevention services for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), sexually transmitted diseases (STD); and tuberculosis (TB) because of CDC&apos;s greater understanding of the extent to which: &#149; STDs increase the risk for HIV infection. &#149; Control of TB, viral hepatitis, and STDs is needed to protect the health of HIV-infected persons. &#149; HIV, viral hepatitis and STDs share common risks and modes of transmission. &#149; Risks for acquiring theses diseases are associated with similar behaviors and environmental conditions and have reciprocal or interdependent effects. &#149; Clinical course and outcomes of these diseases are influenced by co-infection (for example, HIV/TB can be deadly, and TB accelerates HIV disease progression). &#149; Populations disproportionately affected by HIV are also disproportionately affected by infections with TB, HCV, HBV, and STDs.
