About the HIV Prevention Planning Committee

Mission

To engage in an ongoing process to develop and update a comprehensive HIV prevention plan for the diverse populations of Los Angeles County.

Vision

To identify and support methods and programs that are effective in preventing transmission of HIV, thus reducing the incidence of HIV infection in Los Angeles County.

Meetings

PPC monthly meetings are held on the first Thursday of each month and are open to the public. The PPC invites active participation in subcommittee activities from the larger community; membership is not a requirement. Such community participation enhances diversity and creates opportunity for broad representation.
