RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the biannual report from the Health Services Department on the HIV Prevention and Needle Exchange Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact; the report is informational.

BACKGROUND:

The HIV Prevention and Needle Exchange Program was referred to the Family and Human Services Committee in October 2002. Family and Human Services Referral No. 61 "HIV Prevention/Needle Exchange Program" was then re-opened on January 4, 2005 for annual reports to the Committee. At the Committee's December 18, 2014 meeting, the Committee directed the Health Services Department to provide bi-annual reports regarding the referral and submit a report to the Board of Supervisors in the intervening years. At any time should the HIV and AIDS exposure data change significantly, the Health Services Department would notify the Committee. On November 13, 2017, the Committee received a report on the needle exchange program and approved forwarding the report to the full Board for review.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Board will not receive the report as recommended by the Family and Human Services Committee.
