Mission
The mission of the Planning Council is to eliminate the spread of HIV/AIDS and to create a seamless continuum of care for all people infected and affected in Delaware, by:
- Preventing new and secondary infections, diagnosing existing infections at the earliest possible stage through testing and counseling programs, and developing early intervention for existing infections to decrease morbidity and mortality
-
Linking HIV prevention, testing and counseling, early diagnosis, access to care, and the provision of quality treatment services
-
Engaging and including individuals from every sector of our community in our planning process, particularly those persons whose lives have been directly touched by HIV/AIDS
Vision
The HIV Planning Council is to act as a community-based advisory group to the Delaware Division of Public Health to provide feedback regarding the Division’s HIV prevention and treatment activities; to develop a council membership that is inclusive and diverse, and to institute an evaluation process to ensure that Delaware’s HIV Care & Prevention programs are meeting the federal standards in the pursuit of ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the state
