Since 1983, Face to Face has addressed the ever-changing challenges presented by the HIV epidemic in Sonoma County. Our mission is to provide compassionate care to people living with HIV/AIDS and their loved ones, and prevention education to the entire community.

The goal of our Care Services program is to encourage well-being, healing and independence for everyone we serve. Services offered include: nursing and social work case management, benefits counseling, emergency financial assistance, housing search and placement, home health care and nursing assistance, transportation to medical appointments and specialized services for women, families and the Latino community.

The goal of our Prevention Education program is to reach those at highest risk of HIV infection with proven intervention strategies, strong supportive messaging, educational materials and condoms. Outreach workers engage individuals with high-risk behaviors in conversations about their awareness of HIV/STDs and risk reduction.

The HIV/AIDS environment is changing due to advances in medical care. An HIV diagnosis is no longer an imminent death sentence. Instead, the focus becomes supporting HIV/AIDS affected individuals so that they can live an independent and healthy life for many years. Face to Face is committed to providing the essential, compassionate care necessary to help reconnect our clients with their vitality and well-being.

As the future of AIDS in Sonoma County continues to expand it its complexity, we are constantly looking at our systems of service delivery. Face to Face has always sought to provide the most efficient and effective delivery of care to our clients with an eye for those with the most critical need. We intend to remain committed HIV prevention, in hopes of ensuring a safer, healthier future for all.
