COMMISSION ON HIV



PUBLIC COMMENTS INVITED | PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE COMMISSION ON HIV BYLAWS- JUNE 27, 2025-JULY 27, 2025  | CLICK HERE TO VIEW DOCUMENT.

Welcome to the Los Angeles County Commission on HIV website.  We’re delighted that you have taken time to find out more about the Commission, its activities, and, most importantly, about the services that Los Angeles County provides for people living with and at risk for HIV/AIDS and STDs.

The Los Angeles County Commission on HIV (COH) serves as the local planning council for the planning, allocation, coordination and delivery of HIV/AIDS services. The COH is composed of 51 members appointed by the Board of Supervisors and represent a broad and diverse group of providers, consumers, and stakeholders. 33% of the membership are HIV+ individuals who are consumers of the federally funded Ryan White Program.

VISION

A comprehensive, sustainable, accessible system of prevention and care that empowers people at-risk, living with or affected by HIV to make decisions and to maximize their lifespans and quality of life.

MISSION

The Los Angeles County Commission on HIV focuses on the local HIV/AIDS epidemic and responds to the changing needs of People Living With HIV/AIDS within the communities of Los Angeles County.

The Commission on HIV provides an effective continuum of care that addresses consumer needs in a sensitive prevention and care/treatment model that is culturally and linguistically competent and is inclusive of all Service Planning Areas (SPAs) and Health Districts (HDs).

ANTI-RACISM, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION INITIATIVE

The Commission supports and actively incorporates in its planning, the County’s Anti-Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion Initiatives (ARDII); an initiative that articulates an anti-racist agenda that guides, governs, and increases the County’s ongoing commitment to fighting racism in all its dimensions, especially racism that systemically and systematically affects Black residents.

The Commission welcomes commissioners, guests, and the public into a space where people of all opinions and backgrounds can contribute. We create a safe environment that celebrates differences while striving for consensus and is characterized by consistent, professional, and respectful behavior. Our common enemies are HIV and STDs. We strive to be introspective and understand and clarify our assumptions, while appreciating the complex intersectionality of the lives we live. We challenge ourselves to be self-reflective and committed to an ongoing understanding.  Refer to the Commission's Code of Conduct here.
