We bring testing and education directly to communities through events, pop-up clinics, and partnerships with local organizations serving at-risk populations.
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is an emergency medication that can prevent HIV after potential exposure. It must be started within 72 hours — we help you get it fast.

The HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Program is a division of the Santa Clara County Department of Health. We work across clinical settings, community organizations, and public health infrastructure to reduce new HIV infections and improve outcomes for those living with HIV.
Our approach is grounded in science, driven by equity, and centered on the people we serve. We partner with community-based organizations, healthcare providers, and public health agencies to ensure that prevention tools, testing, and treatment reach everyone who needs them — especially the populations most affected.
