Join the fight against HIV in Pennsylvania

The HIV Planning Group (HPG) consists of volunteers from around the state who work with the Pennsylvania Department of Health, Dividsion of HIV Disease in creating a unified, strategic fight against HIV in the commonwealth.

The HPG offers a range of HIV-related experience. Their primary function is to develop the multi-year Comprehensive HIV Care Service Plan. The Plan provides guidance to the Department of Health, and other organizations in the state, in addressing HIV disease in the state. It covers a range of topics regarding prevention, testing, access to care, quality treatment, and helping people stay in care. You can access a pdf of the 2017-2021 plan here.

They also provide general input and recommendations to the Division of HIV/AIDS on other care and prevention related issues.
