Pennsylvania HIV Planning Group (1 Articles with 873 total views)
HIV Planning Group (HPG) was formed to respond to the need to integrate HIV care and prevention planning. Prior to 2013 the Integrated Planning Council (IPC) focused on HIV care and the Community Planning Group (CPG) focused on HIV prevention as directed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health (Department). These two planning bodies decided to integrate care and prevention in response to the recommendations from the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This integrated planning body functions as an advisory group to the Department to assist in meeting legislative requirements and expectations, to review best practices for use in PA, and accomplish all HIV/AIDS planning activities for the Commonwealth.
