Our department has a broad array of programs and services to help meet the needs of individuals and communities affected by HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and hepatitis. Comprehensive resources, testing information and support programs allow us to meet the needs of Missourians living with these conditions.
HIV & AIDS
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes HIV infection. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the most advanced stage of HIV infection. Learn about prevention, testing, case management, care options and statistics.
Sexually Transmitted Infections
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are viral and bacterial infections. They are mainly spread through oral, vaginal or anal sex and can infect the mouth, genital and anal areas of the body.
Hepatitis
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver. Some forms of hepatitis are caused by a viral infection. Vaccines, screening and early testing can lower your risk of infection and other serious complications.
University of Missouri’s Show-Me ECHO program has created an ECHO that will educate and train healthcare professionals and patients in approaches to HIV and hepatitis C care and prevention.
