Vanderbilt University Medical Center has been awarded a five-year, nearly $23 million federal grant to continue the coordination of AIDS education and training efforts. The Southeast AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) coordinates HIV/AIDS education efforts in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North and South Carolina as well as Tennessee. Since 2015, the center has been based in the Vanderbilt Comprehensive Care Clinic (CCC) at One Hundred Oaks. Despite advances, nearly 39,000 people become newly infected with HIV in the U.S. each year with more than half of the new diagnoses reported in 2017 coming from the South.
