Now known as the HIV, STD and Viral Hepatitis Program, the Program provides HIV prevention and care services to thousands of Mainers across the State. The Program, a division of the Maine Center for Disease Control, receives federal and state funds to support its programs. The Program also works with several community partners to help ensure access to programming.
