SUMMARY
This analysis reviews the HIV prevention plans from 29 states, 5 local governments, and 6 Pacific Island jurisdictions (61.5% percent response rate). The plans from these 40 jurisdictions reflect the uneven implementation of HIV prevention community planning efforts and the uneven progress in achieving CDC's core objectives for HIV prevention community planning. Specifically, Asians and Pacific Islanders (A&PIs) often are not represented in state and local HIV prevention community planning groups. There are also significant gaps in the manner in which HIV and AIDS surveillance data are collected and reported for A&PIs. Finally, A&PI populations are rarely included in HIV prevention priorities.
