Positive Care Clinic

Experts in HIV and STI Care

Undiagnosed sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can lead to infertility, chronic pain, and other chronic diseases. Yet, there are limited health clinics available in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Stanford Positive Care Clinic offers a range of accessible, discrete, and professional adult medical care services. The clinic was created to provide adults living in the San Francisco Bay Area with access to HIV specialty care, HIV prevention services, as well as confidential STI testing, treatment, prevention, and education.
