The guidelines are available on the AIDSinfo website. These updated guidelines address the use of combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV-infected infants, children, and adolescents. Guidance on management of adverse events associated with use of antiretroviral drugs in children and a detailed review of information about safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of antiretroviral agents in children is also included.

Also called ''Recommendations for the Use of Antiretroviral Drugs in Pregnant Women with HIV Infection and Interventions to Reduce Perinatal HIV Transmission in the United States''. These Guidelines update the October 2016 Perinatal Guidelines. The Department of Health and Human Services Panel on Treatment of Pregnant Women Living with HIV and Prevention of Perinatal Transmission (the Panel), a working group of the Office of AIDS Research Advisory Council, develops these guidelines. The guidelines provide health care providers with information for discussion with pregnant women living with HIV infection to enable collaborative, informed decision-making regarding the use of ARV drugs during pregnancy, use of scheduled cesarean delivery to reduce perinatal transmission of HIV, and decision-making around the use of ARV drugs for prophylaxis of infants exposed to HIV. The recommendations in these Guidelines are accompanied by a discussion of various circumstances that commonly occur in clinical practice and the factors that influence treatment considerations. The Panel recognizes that strategies to prevent perinatal transmission and concepts related to management of HIV in pregnant women are rapidly evolving and will consider new evidence and adjust recommendations accordingly. The updated guidelines are available from the AIDSinfo website http://aidsinfo.nih.gov.

The Tick-Borne Disease Working Group was established by Congress in 2016 as part of the 21st Century Cures Act to provide subject matter expertise and to review federal efforts related to all tick-borne diseases, to help ensure interagency coordination and minimize overlap, and to examine research priorities. The focus of this effort is the development of a report to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and Congress on the findings and any recommendations of the Working Group for the federal response to tick-borne disease prevention, treatment, and research, as well as how to address gaps in these areas.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Viral Hepatitis Interagency Working Group was created by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health to address a report sponsored by the Institute of Medicine entitled Hepatitis and Liver Cancer: A National Strategy for Prevention and Control of Hepatitis B and C. The group meets to discuss collaborations and activities directed at achieving the goals for viral hepatitis research and control highlighted in the IOM report. (Although the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) represent the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as Working Group members, other NIH Institutes/Centers/Offices also provide input to the VHIG through their participation in the Trans-NIH Committee on Viral Hepatitis.) The working group developed a 2017-2020 National Viral Hepatitis Action Plan.

Through the Federal Interagency Reentry Council, federal agencies are working together to enhance community safety and well-being, assist those returning from prison and jail in becoming productive citizens, and save taxpayer dollars by lowering the direct and collateral costs of incarceration. Because reintegration to the community after incarceration intersects with issues of health, housing, education, employment, family, faith, and community well-being, the U.S Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other federal agencies are focusing on the reentry population with activities that aim to improve outcomes in these areas.

This HIV Implementation Science Summit brought together investigators, implementation partners, and federal agencies to identify approaches for using implementation science to end the HIV epidemic in the United States. Attendees learned about (1) the projects responding to the EHE initiative through science–practice partnerships, (2) key implementation science concepts and methods and examples of how these are applied in HIV research, and (3) capacity-building services provided by the ISC3I coordinating center.
