End HIV/STI Oregon Statewide Planning Group

The End HIV/STI Statewide Planning Group is an advisory group to the HIV/STD/TB Section of the Oregon Health Authority.

The group helps develop a statewide plan for ending new HIV transmissions in Oregon, as well as co-occurring viral hepatitis, and other sexually transmitted infections. This includes advising OHA on ways to increase testing, prevent new infections, ensure high-quality and accessible treatment, and eliminate disparities

Why join?

To amplify the voices of groups who are currently underrepresented and impacted by HIV, the group is currently seeking and prioritizing applications from people in Oregon who are Black or African American; Hispanic or Latino/a/x; American Indian or Alaska Native; transgender, non-binary, or gender diverse, with a focus on transgender women; people of color who are living with HIV; young people (ages 18-29); and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders.
