Federal health agencies must coordinate their HIV/AIDS programs to improve continuity of care. The Secretary reports to Congress every two years on these coordination efforts. States and local grantees must promise to integrate their HIV services with other programs.

(a) Requirement — The Secretary must ensure HRSA, the CDC, SAMHSA, and CMS coordinate the planning, funding, and implementation of federal HIV programs — including all Public Health Service minority AIDS initiatives under section 300ff–121 — to improve continuity of care and prevention services for people with, or at risk of, HIV/AIDS. The Secretary must consult other federal agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, as needed, and use the planning information States and eligible entities have already submitted to those agencies. (b) Report — Every two years, the Secretary must prepare and send Congress's relevant committees a report on the federal, State, and local coordination efforts described in this section, including a description of federal barriers to integrating HIV programs and a strategy for eliminating those barriers and improving continuity of care and prevention for people with, or at risk of, HIV/AIDS. (c) Integration by State — To receive funds under this subchapter, a State must give the Secretary assurances that health support services funded under this subchapter will be integrated with other such services, that its programs will be coordinated with other available programs (including Medicaid), and that continuity of care and prevention services for people with HIV/AIDS will be improved. (d) Integration by local or private entities — To receive funds under this subchapter, a local government or private nonprofit entity must give the Secretary the same kind of assurances — integration of funded services with other services, coordination with other available programs including Medicaid, and improved continuity of care and prevention services for people with HIV.
