Long Beach HIV/STD Strategy

In 2017, the Long Beach Comprehensive HIV Planning Group, began developing a Long Beach HIV/STD Strategy for 2019-2022. The Planning Group identified five priority areas with bold goals and strategies designed to reduce new HIV and STD infections. These goals are based on epidemiological data and trends in the City of Long Beach and take into consideration the specific needs and populations of the city, while aligning with Los Angeles County HIV/AIDS Strategy for 2020 and Beyond, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Sexually Transmitted Disease Workplan, as well as the State’s Laying a Foundation for Getting to Zero; California’s Integrated HIV Surveillance, Prevention, and Care Plan.
