This past weekend, our community experienced the heartbreaking loss of a caring coworker, a compassionate and energetic social worker, and, to many, a dear friend. The fact that our colleague lost his life while at work at ZSFG Ward 86, while taking care of some of our most vulnerable clients, makes this loss even more devastating and painful. Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and community.

Vigils are reportedly being held throughout the week at ZSFG, and we are preparing space at the Services Center where staff, clients, and community members can write messages, offer prayers and flowers, and reflect on the life and incredible work of our beloved colleague.

In Community,
Team AHP ❤️

Today is when we reflect on our history and on the many contributions our vibrant AHP community has made over the last four decades in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Life-saving services are being defunded, disrupting treatment and care response for those in SF who need it most.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO):
📣 In 2024, an estimated 40.8 million people were living with HIV globally
📣 Approximately 630,000 people died from HIV‑related causes in 2024
📣 An estimated 1.3 million people acquired HIV in 2024

We must work together to acknowledge, advocate, and address the inequities that continue to affect our clients and community here at home and around the world. ❤️

The UCSF Alliance Health Project is relaunching the Dave Perdue Fundraiser to help secure critical funds for AHP’s food voucher program, which supports our most vulnerable clients who face food insecurity.

Originally launched in 2024 by longtime AHP staffer and supporter Holly Wong in honor of her late brother Dave Perdue, AHP's food voucher program continues to serve as a safety net in these uncertain times when Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits continue to be greatly impacted at the federal level.
