The AHEAD Dashboard is “one tool” that can support the monitoring and/or tracking of the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S.(EHE) initiative. AHEAD helps track the six EHE indicators in areas with the highest burden of HIV. It complements and serves as one of many important implementation elements of the EHE initiative and the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. This interactive dashboard can be used to inform planning and is a starting place to explore other HIV data sources.
