SUMMARY
This article reviews a national survey conducted with objectives to (a) ascertain the status of HIV prevention among community-based organizations targeting A&PIs in the United States, (b) define their technical assistance needs among these organizations, and (c) determine their involvement in the HIV community planning process. Gay men, bisexual men, and youth were targeted most frequently by HIV prevention efforts. Program development, staff development, and program evaluation were the most frequently reported areas of technical assistance requested. Recommendations include providing technical assistance in fundraising, program evaluation, and participation in the HIV community planning process
