This organization is great! There was a syringe in front to our garage and I was afraid my dogs would step on it! Joseph was super fast and professional!
In one hour only the syringe was removed!

The San Francisco AIDS Foundation deserves the highest commendation for its unwavering dedication to the well-being of all individuals, especially those within the LGBTQIA+ community. This organization stands as a beacon of compassion, providing not only critical support for those affected by HIV/AIDS but also fostering a community committed to health, understanding, and empowerment.

What sets the San Francisco AIDS Foundation apart is its comprehensive approach to health services. From testing and prevention to counseling and advocacy, they address the diverse needs of the LGBTQIA+ community with empathy and expertise. Their commitment to eradicating stigma and fostering a culture of inclusivity is evident in every initiative.

The staff at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation goes beyond professional duty, exuding genuine care and support. Participating in their programs has not only enhanced my awareness of HIV/AIDS but has also connected me with a community passionate about making a positive impact.

My experience with the San Francisco AIDS Foundation has been nothing short of commendable, instilling a sense of appreciation for the tireless efforts put forth. I wholeheartedly commend and recommend this organization to anyone seeking comprehensive and compassionate support within the LGBTQIA+ community.

It is a trivialization of an ugly, deadly illness to spell AIDS as Aids. The SF AIDS Foundation obdurately disrespects us Long-Term Survivors of this deadly disease by emblazing the identifying word, "Strut" on their Castro Street Building. I don't know anyone my age who struts. The building might have been named something respectful of the sacred ground it occupies, or of the deaths or lives of the folks who trafficked Castro Street. But no! The business is overrun with people half my age, and with career obsessed social workers who sorely lack life experience. People in their late 20s and 30s usually talk, look past and disrespect their elders and are full of themselves. Insensitivity to elders is rife at the AIDS Foundation. As a culture, they have no idea of the multiple trauma living with AIDS and growing older and closer to death it takes to live another day. Is this how you'd treat your grandfather I often ask? It is a culture in crisis at the SF AIDS Foundation, and they are all tone deaf while their practices remain abusive at worst, and insensitive at best. At the very least they are completely out of touch, though they profess otherwise. Of course! But I call it contempt. I'm just sayin'. Still, if you value hob nobbing, you can get a reasonably decent meal with the 50 Plus crowd, and occasionally attend movies or a concert with them. My personal experience states the Elizabeth Taylor Foundation has largely misspent their supportive cash on the Program Manager's hollow ideas. But don't expect management's respect. These folks are too full of themselves to offer any of that. And oh boy! They have their collective heads much too far up their employees' and the friends' of their employees asses to notice what's going on for Long-Term Survivors. That is of course unless their friend's ass belongs to another Long-Term Survivor. I remain "respectful" of my fellow Long-Term Survivors, but not at all hopeful.

I owe these people my life! They have helped me find housing, helped me stay sober, and helped me keep my life and health on track! They have also helped keep many social services in the City stay open and accessible to those like me that might not be alive without them! Thank You!

Somebody needs to speak with Dorris the front desk person downstairs. I've come to translife for three consecutive months and on my first visit she wouldnt explain the sign in process, but second visit she was very demeaning and harsh like she assumed this is connoc knowledge. It wasn't till a month later she gave me a second to introduce myself but only because I was the one to endure more abusive redirect about my inability to sign in correctly. I simply said hi my name is... At which point u thought we were Kool. But next visit again she acts like she don't know me treats me like I have no idea what to do. Come on, what's going on here. I've been kind and polite and raised to be respectful but I've taken all I can from this lady. She needs to be repremended. There needs to be some kind of sit down with the person and upper management because as a young trans women of color who's come up from the shelter program, I have to say this is so hurtful and heartbreaking that I need to go through this each time to attend a support group that I not only need but also really appreciate. Please can someone explain to this lady that a paycheck cannot be taken for granted, that the people that come through the front door are not for her to dehumanized and belittle, and that this is a serious abuse of power.

Update: Dorris is still rude to selected guest. Hands me name tag then retracts when I reach for it. Seriously, there's a level of professionalism and demeanor youre RESPONSIBLE for and she ignores all that when she wants to be vendictive. Bad image for building, who is her supervisor. I'd really need to put in official complaint form! Bypass her friends and go straight to corporate. Accountability people!!!
