LA COUNTY 2022-2026 INTEGRATED HIV PLAN
The Los Angeles County Integrated HIV Plan, 2022-2026 was developed in partnership with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Division of HIV and STD Programs (DHSP) and a vast array of community and organizational partners. The plan serves a blueprint for HIV service coordination along the entire spectrum of HIV prevention and care. The Integrated Plan is designed to reflect local vision, values, needs and strengths. It is also designed to align with California’s Integrated Statewide Strategic Plan for Addressing HIV, HCV, and STIs from 2022- 2026, and The National HIV/AIDS Strategy (2022–2025).
The Integrated Plan’s seven priority populations are:
- Latinx men who have sex with men (MSM)
- Black/African American MSM
- Transgender persons
- Cisgender women of color
- People who inject drugs (PWID)
- People under the age of 30
- People living with HIV who are 50 years of age or older.
These populations were prioritized given the disproportionate impact of HIV and other STDs that they endure, as substantiated by the most current data.

ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFICIENCY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE MECHANISM
As a Ryan White HIV/AIDS Part A Program planning council, the Los Angeles County Commission on HIV is required by Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to conduct an “Assessment of the Efficiency of the Administrative Mechanism” (AEAM) annually. The AEAM is meant to evaluate the speed and efficiency with which Ryan White Program funding is allocated and disbursed for HIV services in Los Angeles County. The Standards and Best Practices Committee of the Commission leads the development, implementation, and analysis of the AEAM. The purpose of this report is to present the findings of this assessment.

RYAN WHITE PROGRAM SERVICE STANDARDS
Service standards for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Part A Program (RWHAP) outline the elements and expectations a service provider should follow when implementing a specific service category. The purpose of the standards is to ensure that all RWHAP service providers offer the same fundamental components of the given service category. Additionally, the standards set the minimum level of care Ryan White-funded service providers may offer clients, however, service providers are encouraged to exceed these standards.

NEEDS ASSESSMENTS
As an integral component of its ongoing work, the Los Angeles County Commission on HIV regularly gathers data to evaluate the scope of HIV in the service area and determine how effectively the local system of care meets the needs of people living with HIV. It includes a systematic examination of service needs, barriers to care, and the capacity of local agencies. Using a variety of data collection methods (such as surveys, interviews, and focus groups) and incorporating direct input from people living with HIV, the assessment identifies gaps in services, capacity-building needs, and opportunities for coordination across providers. This information is then analyzed to identify what services are needed and by which groups of people living with HIV (PLWH) need them. The needs assessment data are used to help set priorities for the allocation of HIV care services funding, in the development of the integrated HIV plan, and in designing annual service implementation plans. It ensures that planning decisions are grounded in comprehensive data and reflect the diverse experiences and needs of individuals both in and out of care.
