HIV Education and Prevention in California: Problems and Progress

AIDS & Public Policy Journal 12, no. 1 (Spring 1997): 31-45
R. Marx et al.

HIV-prevention efforts in California began early in the AIDS epidemic. In 1983 the state awarded $432,000 to 15 agencies for HIV education and prevention (HIV E&P) activities. By 1988, funding reached $16.3 million for 158 state contracts with agencies. In recent years the state budget crisis has restricted funds for public health in general, and HIV prevention in particular. Funding fell to $15.1 million in 1992; it is currently $17.1 million. Combating a growing epidemic with unstable resources calls for a careful assessment of HIV-prevention efforts.
