History
Comparable HP2020 objective
Related, which includes objectives that have the same or a similar intent to either a measurable or developmental/archived objective in Healthy People 2020.
Changes between HP2020 and HP2030
This objective differs from Healthy People 2020 objective STD-10 in that objective STD-10 tracked persons aged 20 to 29 years with herpes Simplex virus-2 (HSV-2), while this objective previously tracked persons aged 15 to 24 years with HSV-2. Due to the data source no longer collecting the information needed for this objective, it is no longer being tracked in Healthy People 2030.
Revision History
Recategorized.
This objective was recategorized to developmental objective STI-D01 from core objective STI-06 in 2024. The data source no longer collects the information needed for this objective.
