HIV Consumer Advocacy Project

The Advocacy Project is a unique program in San Francisco that provides assistance to clients in advocating for HIV+ clients, including filing a grievance with a service provider that is funded by Ryan White funds. The Advocate can assist clients in determining if they are eligible for a given service. The Advocacy Project can also help to resolve issues before they become grievances by mediating problems with the client and service provider. For further information, call 415-701-1200, ext. 322. Clients in San Francisco, Marin, and San Mateo counties are eligible for services.

In 2000, HIV Health Services developed a Quality Management Program for HIV/AIDS services in San Francisco. As part of this program, HIV Health Services and the HIV Health Services Planning Council (CARE Council) identified a need for service delivery standards in San Francisco.

All HHS standards of care were reviewed and approved by the HIV Health Services Planning Council over 2015, and revised and expanded on by the SF HIV Community Planning Council (HCPC) in 2024.
