Calvin Gerald, a member of the DC Center HIV Working Group, has been chosen to serve on the DC HIV Prevention Community Planning Group (CPG). Calvin will join current CPG member Dan O'Neill, chair of the HIV Working Group.
The HPCPG is the group that guides HIV prevention in the District of Columbia, along with the DC Department of Health's HIV/AIDS Administration (HAA).
Members of the HPCPG include residents of the District who are interested in HIV prevention, researchers and academics, healthcare providers, and staff from community-based organizations. CPG members reflect the diversity of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the District.
The HPCPG is responsible for determining which populations are in greatest need of HIV prevention services, as well as deciding what are the best ways to meet those needs. HAA, in turn, is responsible for implementing and funding programs and services that match the HPCPG’s recommendations.
Four other new members were approved to serve on the CPG. They are: Chris Bryant, Rev. Dana Tolliver, Sharmus Outlaw, and Pernell Williams.
