According to estimates based on CDC statistics, the San Joaquin County has 1000-2000 individuals living with this disease,
though only about half are in medical treatment or receiving services for their disease.
The San Joaquin AIDS Foundation is committed to serve as many of those infected with HIV/AIDS as possible with the resources available.
With a current case load of nearly 100 clients, our case managers are working very diligently to find or develop the proper programs to
assist this demand.
The primary needs of this population are housing, food, transportation and medicines. The educational services needed by this population
are being met; however, will need to be increased as we continue to provide youth and young adult educational services.
Operational support staff is being trained to communicate and educate the public as the need arises and remains available for
informational purposes on a daily basis. This allows case managers and educators the flexibility to meet the demands of clients,
constituents and community relations without being restricted to in-office services only.
