HIV Treatment and Prevention
Today, thanks to better treatments, people are living with HIV. LifeLong offers a range of services in HIV care, treatment, and prevention, in addition to working through partners like the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center.
LifeLong’s HIV Care and Prevention team continues to provide services in a healing, trauma informed and cultural responsive environment. Preventing HIV infections among African American and Latinx people of all genders is a priority. Although African Americans make up only 13 percent of the U.S. population, they account for 42 percent of new HIV diagnoses.
