The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Division of HIV and STD Programs (DHSP) is seeking members to serve on the county-wide Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Steering Committee. Ending the HIV Epidemic is a five-year federal initiative focused on four key pillars: (1) diagnose people with HIV as early as possible, (2) treat people with HIV rapidly and effectively, (3) prevent new HIV transmissions, and (4) respond quickly to HIV outbreaks.
The Steering Committee will advise and collaborate with DHSP on the implementation of local HIV-related strategies and will incorporate a broad range of perspectives from evidence-based programming, community organizing, public health, epidemiology, to health care delivery and financing, and alternate health care delivery models (e.g. street medicine), among other areas.
They are looking for new voices and partnerships across sectors that will be able to take their existing HIV prevention and care efforts to the next level as well as emphasize the health equity and social justice perspective. Please note, you do not need HIV experience to be considered. If you are interested, please apply through the SurveyMonkey link below and/or feel free to share widely. Should you have any questions, please email EHEInitiative@ph.lacounty.gov.
