The CHPG works with the Virginia Department of Health to develop and monitor Virginia\u2019s Integrated HIV Services Plan to help end the HIV epidemic and improve the health of people with HIV. The Plan will guide our work over the next five years.<\/p>\n<p>We are looking for members among people with HIV, people vulnerable to HIV, HIV care and prevention providers, and health departments. We also need people from agencies that provide mental health and substance use treatment, housing, social services, and other services used or needed by the people we serve. We are especially looking for people from communities of color, people from the Northern and Central regions of Virginia, as well as men and those who fall outside of the gender binary. At least 30% of the CHPG are people with HIV. Community voices are key, so the group does have attendance rules.<\/p>\n<p>The CHPG meets six times per year on Thursdays or Fridays from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm in Richmond. Members who live outside of the meeting area will receive a hotel room and will be reimbursed for travel costs and meals. Lunch will be served.<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to read the group bylaws, please go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/disease-prevention\/get-involved\/\">CHPG webpage.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The application does ask personal and sensitive questions so we can select a diverse group of members.
