HIV planning is a collaborative process where diverse stakeholders work together to create and implement a jurisdictional HIV prevention plan, as demonstrated by Philadelphia's 4-year plan submitted in 2012. This process includes stakeholder identification, engagement, and the development and monitoring of the plan, with health department oversight. The Health Planning Group (HPG) contributes expertise to ensure that the plan effectively allocates resources to the most affected populations.

1. What is HIV Planning?
“…a process through which people from
different walks of life, interests,
responsibilities, and involvement in HIV come
together as a group to inform and support the
development and implementation of a
Jurisdictional HIV Prevention Plan*”
*Philadelphia’s 4-year Plan submitted in 2012

3. Jurisdictional Plan
• The health department, in collaboration with the
HPG, will develop a Jurisdictional HIV
Prevention Plan to include the collaboration and
coordination of HIV prevention care and
treatment.
• Although the plan is written by the health
department, it is with the knowledge and
expertise that the HPG members AND
stakeholders/community experts bring to the table

4. Jurisdictional Plan (cont)
• Philadelphia’s Jurisdictional Plan was
submitted in 2012
• It is a 4-year plan. A new Plan will be
developed for 2016
• There have been no changes to the Plan
since it was submitted

5. Jurisdictional Plan (cont)
• The HPG, in collaboration with the HD, will
monitor the Plan over the next year(s) making
updates as necessary
• Monitoring Activities include continually
assessing key stakeholder involvement &
ensuring that the Plan is updated when needed

6. Concurrence
Refers to the HPG’s agreement that the HPG
has:
• Reviewed the Jurisdictional HIV Prevention
plan (submitted to the CDC by the Health Dept
in 2012)
• Concurs (agrees) that the Plan describes how
programmatic activities & resources are being
allocated to the most disproportionately affected
populations and geographic areas that bear the
greatest burden of HIV disease.
