    The Planning Council is a community group that has been appointed by the NYC Mayor, to plan the organization and delivery of HIV services funded by Part A of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act. Each Council member is a caring, dedicated volunteer who has been carefully selected to reflect the diversity of our community. Members represent the general public, people living with HIV, funded service providers, and other health and social service organizations. Planning Council members work together to identify the care needs of people living with HIV. The Council then determines which services are of the highest priority, and how much funding should be committed to each service. Council members also evaluate the cost effectiveness and the quality of the services provided.

In the context of ending the HIV epidemics in Latinx Gay/Bi and Trans Men communities in NYS, new approaches to partnership are critical in building awareness, identifying solutions, and driving effective action to combat new transmissions.

    With the growing trend of epidemics and pandemics, the need for partnerships in advocacy has never been clearer. As we convene at the 7th Annual New York City Latinx Gay/Bi and Trans Men Health Summit, it is essential to explore ways of breaking down barriers, building relationships, and leveraging the expertise of partners to address these challenges.

    In this summit, we aim to educate stakeholders on the importance of fostering partnerships to

    Key Focus of the Summit:

    1. Advancing the End of the HIV Epidemic: At the core of this summit lies the objective to educate stakeholders on the pivotal role of partnerships in accelerating the end of the HIV epidemic.
