Getting a client into treatment with a Doctor upon diagnosis is of the utmost importance and often, clients do not know how to navigate a system that requires a lot out of them. Our role is to set clients up with a doctor’s appointment and accompany them to their initial appointment, and further appointments if necessary.
In many instances, once a client has been linked to medical care, they do well to keep up with appointments on their own. Others need a little more help. In the Ryan White Part D Program, We follow clients for as long as 6 months.
Eligible members of the Part D program are either newly HIV+ diagnosed needing to be linked to doctor’s care for the first time, or people who have not seen a doctor in at least 6 months and wish to get Back to Care.
Anyone matching these requirements with a diagnosis of HIV+, please call: Sylvia Delossantos for assistance at 210.212.2266 (office) or 210.275.4071 (cell). You may also write to [email protected] to receive assistance.

As a teenager, it can be difficult and rather awkward to approach your parents with questions about sex. For many teens, it can be more comfortable to go to friends for advice. However, there is a great deal of incorrect information out there and it is important to know what information should be accepted as fact.
In today’s society, with all the access to information we have on the internet, it can be hard to judge what information is accurate and what is not. The Teen Talk Team at the San Antonio AIDS Foundation (SAAF) has created this website to provide access to detailed and accurate information about sex, life, and everything else that comes with being a teen.
