Planning
The Pennsylvania HIV Prevention Community Planning Committee (Committee) is a group of individuals united for a common purpose.
Committee members serve by virtue of their life experiences and expertise and are not understood to function as representatives of any agency or organizational affiliation. The Committee is charged with developing the multi-year Plan to include objectives and recommended interventions and activities.
In addition, they review the Department of Health's application for CDC funding to procure HIV prevention services to insure its concurrence with the Prevention Plan allocation of HIV prevention resources. They also provide input and recommendations to the Division on other HIV prevention-related issues.
Principles of HIV Prevention
HIV Prevention Community Planning is based upon three principles, Inclusion, Representation, and Parity:
- Inclusion: assurance of meaningful inclusion of all needed perspectives.
- Representation: assurance that those representing a community truly reflect that community’s values, norms, and behaviors.
- Parity: condition whereby all members are provided opportunities to participate and have equal voice in decision-making.
