Our Impact
We’re creating a future where health justice is achieved for all people living with or at risk for HIV. That means ending the HIV epidemic Here is a snapshot of ways our work impacts our communities.
Trends in HIV infections in San Francisco
Our work contributes substantially to the reduction of new infections across San Francisco. We are one of the largest community-based providers of HIV testing and PrEP, and we distribute the highest volume of sterile syringes as the leading organization in the Syringe Access Collaborative. We also provide high-quality substance use services, linkage to and retention in HIV care, and social support services.

More about our impact
More than half of people accessing PrEP are Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC): 58% of new PrEP enrollments and 58% of PrEP clients overall were BIPOC.
We consistently bring people into HIV treatment–whether they are newly diagnosed with us or have been diagnosed elsewhere. Last year, we started 33 individuals on rapid HIV treatment after diagnosis.
Among our clients age 50 and over, more than 90% are engaged in medical care and are virally suppressed. This exceeds city-wide targets for viral suppression.
The Stonewall Project is a substance use and harm reduction program designed to support individuals to improve their health and well-being. Clients create goals that are specific to their lives, be it improvement in their sexual health, reduction or change in their use, or change in how their substance use impacts their lives. Last year, we helped nearly 600 clients reach their goals through more than 2,000 clinical hours of harm reduction counseling.
Positive Reinforcement Opportunity Program (PROP) is a contingency management program that offers people who use methamphetamine and other stimulants the opportunity to earn gift cards for non-reactive urine screens in addition to harm reduction substance use support. Last year, the program expanded to serve nearly 200 clients.
Last year, we distributed 38,547 doses of Narcan, an overdose prevention medication, to clients and community members. We trained 10,422 people on how to use Narcan and respond to overdose, and 5,127 overdoses were reported back to us.
Our Syringe Pick Up Crew responded to reports of improperly disposed of syringes across San Francisco, picking up and disposing of about 50,000 syringes last year.
Last year, we engaged people with high-level support for HCV testing, insurance and benefits navigation, weekly support groups and onsite storage lockers for medication. We conducted a total of 2,450 HCV tests, and 18 achieved SVR12 (a cure).
