Preparedness checklist for an HIV cluster or outbreak surge response. Best practices and activities are organized into a checklist that can be used by HIV cluster or outbreak surge response teams. The checklist is categorized by both response role (e.g., STD/HIV program leader and disease intervention specialist) and timing of when they should be considered during the response (e.g., preresponse activities, field activities, and postresponse activities). *Activities may require longer time period for development and approvals (e.g., weeks to months) and should be planned ahead of time accordingly, as feasible **Provision of materials, such as equipment, may be more resource intensive and depend on available funding Abbreviations: eHARS, enhanced HIV/AIDS Reporting System; PrEP, pre-exposure prophylaxis; SSPs, syringe services programs
