Health officials unveil ambitious plan to cut HIV infections in Michigan by 90%
Michigan health leaders have announced a new plan that it hopes will reduce the number of new HIV infections by 90% by the year 2030.
“Since 2019, we’ve really learned a lot about what’s possible and about what is needed to really move the work forward,” said Katie Macomber, Director of the Bureau of HIV & STI Programs from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
What was learned then informed the four-step plan they’ve put into motion now.
She explains the first step involves testing.
“We know one in seven people in Michigan don’t know their HIV status, that they’re infected,” Macomber said.
Next is PrEP. To prevent an infection, those who are at a higher risk of contracting the virus can take the medication.
PrEP is covered by insurance and can be taken as a once-daily medication or via injection.
The next step is focusing on those who have HIV.
“Helping people who have HIV stay in care makes them very healthy personally but also helps prevent the spread through others,” said Macomber.
To help people stay in care, they offer support services such as transportation to doctors’ appointments and a case manager.
The last step is using data to identify where there is a need.
“We’re rapidly responding in communities that have new HIV networks so that we know if there’s a cluster of cases in a given area, we can make sure we’re nimble with data to get resources there whether its increased education, testing, provider desert,” Macomber said.
Another thing health leaders are aiming to do is reduce stigma.
A national study found the stigma that exists surrounding HIV in Michigan is higher than the national average.
In 2023, 696 people were newly diagnosed with the virus, and another 18,437 people were living with it.
Macomber wants people to know there are plenty of resources available.
“We really want people to know with HIV that it’s a really manageable chronic condition there are a wealth of folks who will care about you, talk to you in a really nonstigmatizing way,” Macomber said.

Former Michigan running back and assistant coach Mike Hart is getting a promotion on Chris Creighton’s staff at Eastern Michigan.
The school announced Monday that Hart is being elevated to assistant head coach and will oversee the receivers in 2026. Michigan’s all-time leading rusher spent last season as an offensive analyst for the Eagles.
“Coach Hart is a winner,” Creighton said in a news release. “He has the ‘It’ factor. He selflessly helped us this year as an offensive analyst and made a positive impact. We know that he will be a major addition as assistant head coach and wide receivers coach.”
Hart has 14 years of college coaching experience, including a three-year stint as Michigan’s running backs coach from 2021-23. He served as interim head coach for one game during the Wolverines’ 2023 national championship season when Jim Harbaugh was suspended.
Under Hart, Michigan’s running backs thrived. Blake Corum rushed for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons and was a third-round pick by the Rams in 2024. The Wolverines won the Big Ten all three years Hart was on staff, but they did not renew his contract after the 2023 campaign.
The 39-year-old began his coaching career at EMU in 2011 and also has had stints at Western Michigan (2014-15), Syracuse (2016) and Indiana (2017-2020).
As a player at Michigan, Hart was a two-time Doak Walker Award finalist and finished fifth in the 2006 Heisman Trophy voting. Last season, EMU finished 4-8 but was No. 2 in the Mid-American Conference in passing yards per game.
“I am excited to be a part of Eastern Michigan football,” Hart said in a release. “Coach Creighton is one of the best leaders of men I have ever been around, and I look forward to learning and being a part of his program. EMU football and the Ypsilanti community have always held a special place in my heart, and I am excited to help the team reach our goals for the 2026 season.”

Kyle Whittingham’s staff at Michigan is nearly complete. Position coaches have been hired and now the Wolverines are working on their analysts and assistants to help the position coaches. And Michigan fans heard some positive news on Sunday.
Not only did the Wolverines hire a new safeties coach, with a ton of history as a defensive coordinator, but Michigan will retain long-time coach Fred Jackson, according to MGoBlue where he is listed as an analyst.

Jackson was Michigan’s running backs coach from 1992-2014 before he left to coach high school football. But in 2022, he was welcomed back to Ann Arbor under Jim Harbaugh and helped coach the position. He assisted Tony Alford, who was also retained to coach running backs, for the past two seasons at Michigan.
With the tutelage from both Jackson and Alford, Michigan’s run game was fantastic this season. Despite injuries to both Justice Haynes and Jordan Marshall, Michigan had one of the top rushing attacks in the Big Ten.
The Wolverines averaged over 210 yards per game on the ground. Haynes had six games of over 100 yards on the ground, Marshall had four, and former walk-on Bryson Kuzdzal rushed for 100 yards once this season when both Haynes and Marshall missed.
More on Jackson and his history in Ann Arbor
He has coached five All-Big Ten running backs at Michigan, led by three-time all-conference first team honoree Tyrone Wheatley (1992-94) and two-time performer Mike Hart (2004, 2006). Anthony Thomas (2000) and Chris Perry (2003) were All-Big Ten first team selections and Tshimanga Biakabutuka earned second-team honors in 1995. Thomas and Hart received distinction as Big Ten Freshman of the Year award winners.
Jackson’s running backs have led the league in rushing four times during his tenure and surpassed the 1,000-yard barrier 12 times, including Fitzgerald Toussaint in 2011. Perry (2003) and Hart (2004) became the first teammates to lead the league in rushing in back-to-back seasons since 1982-83, pacing the Big Ten in both overall and conference play.
He also coached two seasons in Ann Arbor as the Wolverines’ offensive coordinator.
