The purpose of the Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Plan (IHPCP) is to provide a roadmap to how
the Pennsylvania Department of Health Division of HIV Disease (Division) is addressing
HIV in the commonwealth. The IHPCP focuses on the status of HIV in PA. and what will be done to
prevent HIV, help people living with HIV (PLWH) get and stay in care, address emerging trends, and
respond in ways to help HIV prevention and care efforts succeed.
The first plan developed by the HIV Planning Group incorporates both Prevention and Care Services across Pennsylvania (outside Philadelphia County).
Through the combined efforts of the Integrated HIV Planning Council and the HIV Community Prevention Planning Committee, both convened by the PA DOH, this document includes both the Statewide Comprehensive Plan for HIV Care Services and the Statewide Coordinated Statement of Need (SCSN). The first section of the document provides a background on the initial stages to integrate both Care and Prevention planning.
