The Together Network
One of the best tools available to improve the health of your community is the community itself. CDC recognizes the value of involving those affected by HIV in the response to HIV. In the spring of 2013, the Together Network was formed to build a coalition of people across the country who are invested in raising awareness, preventing HIV transmission, and improving the lives of people living with HIV in their communities, all of whom are featured in the Let’s Stop HIV Together campaign. Let’s Stop HIV Together participants and their supporters are consistently involved with the campaign as community champions to help CDC further disseminate key campaign messages.
