Project PEARL is an HIV leadership training program funded by San Diego County
The goal is to engage persons living with HIV infection in the community planning process. This includes having a role in priority setting and resource allocations, establishing service standards, and in efforts to ensure persons living with HIV receive high-quality services and to improve retention in care and viral suppression.
