Community
Every day, someone like you joins the EHE effort. Momentum for LA County’s response to HIV comes from individuals, groups, organizations, associations, and informal networks across all 26 Health Districts. Veteran HIV advocates, medical providers, and new community allies are coming together to reach the goals of the Ending the HIV Epidemic Plan for LA. Please join us!
We need active participation from allies everywhere in LA County to harness and deploy all of the tools now available to us. We invite you to contemplate what actions you can commit to taking to help achieve EHE’s goals in your community.
