What’s going on? Why might people living with HIV get tested for HIV?īecause we connect with every single person who tests positive at one of our locations, we always ask why people get tested for HIV if they’ve already been diagnosed in the past. We’re puzzled however, when we find out clients are seeking our HIV testing services when they’re HIV-positive, and are sometimes even in care and taking HIV medications. Only a very small percentage of the tests we run come back positive, and we know how to provide people who are newly diagnosed with the support, resources and care to continue living healthy lives.
People from all over the Bay Area-even all over the world-access our services find out their HIV status. Every year, San Francisco AIDS Foundation conducts more than 15,000 HIV tests.
