Commission on HIV
The Los Angeles County Commission on HIV ("Commission") is a federally required Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part A planning council established under Los Angeles County Code, Title 3, Section 3.29.1020. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program is a federal safety-net program that helps people living with HIV access care when they are uninsured or underinsured. Through inclusive planning, public input, and data-informed decision-making, the Commission helps ensure HIV resources are used fairly, effectively, and in ways that respond to the needs of communities throughout Los Angeles County.
The Commission serves as the County's integrated HIV prevention and care planning body and is comprised of volunteers who reflect the diversity of Los Angeles County, including people living with HIV, health care and social service providers, public health professionals, and community-based and AIDS service organizations. It is responsible for countywide planning, community engagement, and aligning HIV prevention and care priorities. Members are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and bring both lived experience and professional expertise to guide the Commission's work.
