What is CHAMPS?
CHAMPS is the Community HIV/AIDS Monitoring and Prevention System dashboard for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. There are two main purposes for the CHAMPS dashboard. First is to make data accessible to the public. Second is to monitor progress toward the four goals in the Getting to Zero Ending the Epidemic plan. Those four goals are to diagnose, treat, prevent, and respond to HIV locally. In addition, the CHAMPS dashboard monitors trends in new HIV diagnoses and the number of people living with HIV in our community.
