The organization’s mission is the radical reduction of new infections in San Francisco. SFAF uses a multifaceted approach, including education, advocacy, and direct services for prevention and care to confront HIV in communities most vulnerable to the disease. They boldly state: “We refuse to accept that HIV transmission is inevitable.”
