Newly diagnosed with HIV, but don’t have healthcare? Just moved to the area and need help getting connected to an HIV healthcare provider? Had trouble accessing HIV care in the past and want to get re-connected?
San Francisco offers a variety of options for HIV care and treatment, but they can be difficult to navigate. We’re here to help.
We can help you get into HIV care, start or re-start HIV treatment, enroll in financial assistance programs, sign up for health insurance, complete lab work, and more. Although we do not provide long-term HIV care, we can help you get established and transfer your care to a primary care provider who will see you on a regular basis.
One of the goals of HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) is to get your viral load down to undetectable levels. You’ll have better health if you’re undetectable, and you won’t transmit HIV to others. In San Francisco, health care providers aim to get people started on HIV medications the very same day they are diagnosed.
For people newly diagnosed with HIV at one of our testing sites, we offer rapid HIV treatment starts. If you are ready to begin treatment, we provide lab work and medication the same day of diagnosis.
If you are living with HIV and not on treatment, we can help you complete lab work, re-start medication, and get back into medical care.
For assistance re-starting HIV medications, contact our navigation team at 415-437-3450, or email assist4HIV@sfaf.org.
We can provide HIV medications to people who are running out of medications or otherwise don’t have access to their medication in some circumstances. If you are traveling in the Bay Area, and lose your medication or run out, contact our navigation team at 415-437-3450 or email assist4HIV@sfaf.org.
Living Positively is a free resource with vital information about HIV health and wellness topics, including medications, sex & dating with HIV, disclosure, becoming undetectable, and so much more.
We offer free, confidential screenings for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and hepatitis C at multiple locations across San Francisco. If you’re having sex, we recommend you get tested every 3 – 6 months.

Access a variety of services for people who are living with HIV and need help with their current housing or health insurance. We partner with the San Francisco Department of Public Health and the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development to stabilize people’s housing through rental assistance and promote access to HIV care and medication. Many of our clients have been provisionally housed for significant periods, and without assistance, they would be unable to afford their rental units, leaving them in danger of homelessness.
Whether you’re a long-term survivor, newly diagnosed or somewhere in between, we have services, resources and social support to keep you engaged in care and informed about the latest advances.
Friends, loved ones and other forms of social support not only improve your quality of life, they can help you through the tough times you might encounter. We have a variety of social support groups and events to help you meet new people, establish friendships and find a community of belonging.
