I had planned to post a lot more AIDS related stuff, my my cat decided to be an attention whore.
Established in 1982, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation is one of the oldest and largest community-based AIDS service organizations in the United States. The mission of the agency is to end the pandemic and the human suffering caused by HIV.
Advocacy and Public Policy Efforts
The San Francisco AIDS Foundation advocates at the federal, state and local levels to ensure that hundreds of thousands of people affected by HIV and AIDS have access to care, treatment, housing and prevention services, and that they benefit from related research efforts.
• The AIDS Foundation’s Public Policy Department plays a leading role in securing federal, state and local government funding for crucial HIV/AIDS-related programs. Public policy staff members also work to ensure passage of sound HIV/AIDS policies and legislation.
• The AIDS Foundation’s HIV Advocacy Network organizes and mobilizes AIDS advocates, service providers, and people living with HIV/AIDS to advocate for effective AIDS policies.
