Transform SF
Transform SF is San Francisco’s HIV testing initiative for the transgender community of San Francisco. Funded by the San Francisco Department of Public Health, it is a collaborative composed of San Francisco Community Health Center, El/la Para TransLatinas and Instituto Familiar de la Raza. The program’s goal is to provide HIV testing to high risk populations, particularly trans women of color (but inclusive of all trans people) to make them aware of their HIV status and provide health care immediately. Participants who join will be enrolled to do a behavioral risk assessment survey and consent to do two rapid HIV test. Participants will receive a $20.00 Visa gift card for their first HIV test, and another $20.00 gift card for their second HIV test (6 months later). This momentous program is the first incentivized testing program for the trans community in San Francisco history.
Trans Access
We provide open access medical clinic serving trans women of color living with HIV, including primary and HIV care, hormones replacement therapy, Case Management, peer navigation, and social support. In addition to that, we support clients who experience substance use, mental illness and survival sex work and refer them to programs that would help them.
TM4M
Is a HIV prevention program for trans men who have sex with men (TM4M) open to all male identified people, unless otherwise stated. This marks the first program ever created for this target population. We provide monthly workshops and education material like on the “Top 5” and “Hanky Code.” We also do outreach at events like Folsom Street Fair and Trans March as well as put on special events like speed dating.
Needle Exchange
Through our needle exchange and disposal program, people who inject drugs access sterile equipment and can safely dispose of bio-waste. Used needles are disposed of in accordance with established biohazardous waste standards. Needle exchange programs are intended to prevent the spread of the HIV virus and other blood-borne diseases, such as hepatitis B and C, among injection drug users and their sexual partners.
