The Philadelphia Prevention Planning Group (PPG, formerly called the CPG) is a group of volunteers that help to plan HIV prevention services within Philadelphia. The PPG collaborates with the health department and provides input into the Comprehensive HIV Prevention Plan. The PPG also reviews the health department's application for federal HIV prevention funding. The PPG does not allocate resources. <br>Philadelphia is one of six cities originally directly funded for community prevention planning purposes. While most PPGs operate on a state level, prevention planning in some cities is directly funded due to the size and scope of their HIV epidemic. The six original cities were Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and San Francisco; Miami, Baltimore, Ft. Lauderdale, and Atlanta were added in 2012.
