The Region V Infertility Prevention Project (RVIPP) is funded through an interagency agreement between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Office of Population Affairs (OPA).  The RVIPP aims to reduce the prevalence of chlamydia and gonorrhea infection in Public Health Service Region V, which includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The project is designed to create and sustain an infrastructure that fosters a working relationship between STD and family planning programs and public health laboratories.
