HIV Prevention Planning
What is HIV Prevention Planning? The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention designed HIV Prevention Community Planning to increase community involvement in prevention planning, improve the scientific basis of program decisions and target resources to those communities at highest risk for HIV transmission and/or acquisition.

What do the planning groups do?
Washington State has six Regional HIV Prevention Planning
Groups and one State HIV Prevention Planning Group. More
than 100 state residents are involved in HIV Prevention
Community Planning through participation on one of the six
Regional HIV Prevention Planning Groups and/or the State HIV
Prevention Planning Group.
Each planning group is responsible for undertaking a rigorous, CDC-defined planning process to produce a multi-year Comprehensive HIV Prevention Plan. These plans guide the use of federal, state, and other resources for HIV prevention in Washington State.
HIV prevention community planning is a collaborative process.
Health departments work with the community to establish a
planning group. This group develops a comprehensive HIV
prevention plan representing the needs of people infected with,
or at risk for, HIV. Anyone can go to the planning meetings or
apply to be a member.
