Access to quality care

90% of our patients are up-to-date with their routine HIV care, compared to 57% of all persons living with HIV in SF (SFDPH Epidemiology Report 2011); all of our patients receive the support they need to enter in to and remain engaged in medical care.

Access to medication

97% of our patients are on antiretroviral therapy, individually managed by their care team to meet their needs and treatment goals.

Outstanding outcomes

89% of our patients experience viral suppression, compared to 62% of all persons living with HIV in SF (SFDPH HIV Epidemiology Report 2011). Viral suppression dramatically improves a person with HIV to thrive and decreasing the chance of passing on HIV to others.
