Living With HIV
Today We Have Hope

Though undetected HIV remains life-threatening, advances in medical treatment and diagnostic care have transformed HIV into a chronic manageable condition. With five separate classes of antiviral drugs, using three or more different antivirals in combination has become standard of care. CD4 (T-cell) and viral load testing are used to monitor disease progression.

Like other people, people with HIV may have practical, emotional, and spiritual needs. San Francisco has a wide variety of organizations that can assist people with HIV to find additional information, orientation and referrals. The following information can assist you to locate and access San Francisco’s broad array of services for HIV positive persons.
