Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; January, 1998

In December 1993, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), working closely with other governmental and nongovernmental partners, issued guidance on HIV Prevention Community Planning to the 65 state, territorial, and local health departments that receive HIV prevention funds. The guidance required these health departments to begin an HIV prevention community planning process in fiscal year (FY) 1994 to qualify for HIV prevention funding for FY 1995 and beyond.

The guidance outlines a process in which the health department administering HIV prevention funds, representatives of the communities for whom the services are intended, and epidemiologists and behavioral scientists work together to identify high priority prevention needs which serve as the basis for health departments' HIV prevention allocation decisions.
