Community Programs

Latino Wellness Center

Culturally-rooted HIV prevention and wellness for San Francisco's Latino community — in partnership with Instituto Familiar de la Raza.

Community health, in your language

The Latino Wellness Center is a collaboration between Mission Neighborhood Health Center and Instituto Familiar de la Raza (opens in a new tab). It offers prevention and wellness services for people at risk for or living with HIV — including rapid testing and PrEP.

Primary medical care is not offered at this site — we are a prevention, education, and support hub. For medical care, we help connect you to MNHC's Shotwell Clinic or another clinic of your choice.

Programs & services

Rapid HIV & STI testing
Confidential testing on-site. HIV, hepatitis C, and syphilis results in about 20 minutes. Chlamydia and gonorrhea results in three days. No appointment needed. Bilingual staff provide pre- and post-test counseling.
Drop-in
Hermanos de Luna y Sol (HLS)
HIV risk-reduction program for Spanish-speaking Latino gay and bisexual men. Founded in 1995, based on Dr. Rafael M. Diaz's research, emphasizing cultural pride, community-building, and personal empowerment. Group sessions and individual counseling.
Mon & Wed 6–9pm · Spanish-language
Treatment outreach & linkage
The Treatment Outreach team works in the community to connect people living with HIV to care, care management, and essential support services — beyond stigma or language barriers.
Linkage to care
PrEP services
PrEP is a daily medication for HIV-negative people that significantly reduces the risk of acquiring HIV. Bilingual staff connect you with screening, eligibility evaluation, and PrEP care at MNHC's clinical sites.
