Integrated Planning Group - IPG

The IPG is an advisory group to the HIV/STD/TB Section of the Oregon Health Authority.

The group helps develop a statewide plan for ending new HIV transmissions in Oregon, as well as co-occurring viral hepatitis, and other sexually transmitted infections. This includes advising OHA on ways to increase testing, prevent new infections, ensure high-quality and accessible treatment, and eliminate disparities

Why join?

The IPG recognizes the need to amplify the voices of groups who are currently underrepresented and impacted by HIV. Therefore, the IPG is currently only accepting applications from people in Oregon who are Black, African American, or African immigrants; Hispanic or Latinx; transgender women; or people of color who are living with HIV.

Change: Help create a future where there are no new infections and everyone living with HIV is healthy.

Connect: Meet people around the state who share this vision.

Contribute: Advise on statewide plans to address HIV and co-infections. Diverse perspectives related to the group’s goals of increasing testing, expanding prevention, ensuring treatment, and eliminating disparities are welcome. The IPG meets three to four times per year. Community members who are unaffiliated with an agency (e.g., participate on unpaid time) are usually eligible for a stipend as a way to thank you for your time.
