NASTAD is a leading non-partisan, non-profit association that represents public health officials who administer HIV and hepatitis programs in the U.S. We work to advance the health and dignity of people living with and impacted by HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, and intersecting epidemics by strengthening governmental public health through education and capacity building.

The National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable (NVHR), an initiative of HEP, is a national coalition fighting for a world free of viral hepatitis. NVHR seeks to eliminate viral hepatitis in the U. S. and improve the lives of those affected through advocacy, education, and support to national, state, and local partners.
The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) mission is to improve the health of communities by strengthening and advocating for the nation’s nearly 3,000 local health departments (LHDs). As the national voice for LHDs, NACCHO plays a critical role in educating federal policymakers about local public health and developing the policy skills of LHD staff to enable them to advocate for public health. NACCHO’s HIV, STI, Viral Hepatitis, and Harm Reduction (HSHH) team works with NACCHO’s Public Health Law and Government Affairs programs to deliver policy capacity-building assistance that is timely and relevant to LHD needs. NACCHO’s policy statements, policy scans, issue briefs, webinars, training, one-on-one technical assistance, communities of practice, and convenings focus on helping LHDs understand their local policy environment, share enabling policies and legislation, and use evidence-informed communications to advocate for best practice syndemic approaches to HSHH.
