Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No.27BCC004 Public Health to Recognize $2,444 from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Division of Public Health, Epidemiology Section, Communicable Disease Branch (CDB) for HIV/STI Screening, Treatment, and Prevention Services
Local health departments are mandated to provide routine HIV/STI screening, treatment and prevention services through their sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and family planning clinics at no cost to the client. North Carolina Administrative Code (10A NCAC 41A .0204) requires North Carolina local health departments to provide treatment at no cost for clients diagnosed with STIs. The CDB also provides funds to local health departments to assist with the purchase of STI drugs. These funds are to be used exclusively for the treatment of local health department clients who are either diagnosed with or who are sexual partners of someone with STI.
Please note that this amendment requires no additional County funds and represents the difference between what was previously budgeted for this program and the FY 26-27 awarded amount.
The Board of Health has approved this amendment.
