City HIV/AIDS Policy

In 1990, the AIDS Coordinator's Office spearheaded the development of the City of Los Angeles' first comprehensive AIDS Policy. The Policy served as a blueprint for the City's multi-pronged effort to combat AIDS.

Today the AIDS Coordinator's Office continues to take a leading role in HIV/AIDS policy issues affecting the residents of Los Angeles. This role includes advising the Mayor and City Council on HIV/AIDS policy questions, implementation and oversight of City HIV/AIDS policy, and collaboration with community organizations to formulate policy strategies.

Recently the AIDS Coordinator's Office worked with the Mayor's AIDS Leadership Council to create a white paper entitled "HIV and AIDS in Los Angeles: 21st Century Challenges and Approaches," which was presented to the Los Angeles City Council in December 2003. The white paper summarizes key HIV/AIDS issues faced by the City today and outlines ways for Los Angeles to reinvigorate its HIV/AIDS policies. This document will guide the AIDS Coordinator's Office as it continues its mission to prevent the spread of HIV and improve life for residents living with HIV/AIDS.
