Ending the HIV Epidemic in King County (EHE)

Planning Committee and Advisory Groups

In February 2019, the President announced the Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America initiative. This comprehensive initiative, known as EtHE, aims to reduce new HIV infections in the U.S. by 75% in five years and by 90% by 2030. King County is one of 48 counties eligible for EtHE funding and is required to develop an EtHE plan.
