Cause Description:
AIDS Project East Bay (APEB) is a community based public non-profit organization, dedicated to preventing the spread of HIV and supporting individuals infected with the virus through programs targeted at some of the most vulnerable and marginalized individuals in Alameda County. APEB ensures that individuals and communities beyond the reach of other agencies receive professional services of the highest standard. APEB programs focus on prevention education, counseling, primary medical care, research collaborations, and advocacy. As the scope of the HIV/AIDS epidemic changes, APEB will continue to evolve to ensure access to compassionate and exceptional care for those in greatest need.

Our culturally and linguistically appropriate services include Ryan White Care and Treatment Services, such as psychosocial case management. APEB serves over 500 people living with HIV/AIDS of which 80% live at or below the poverty level. A full 85% of these clients have been diagnosed with multiple conditions, such as HIV and Hepatitis C. A total of 85% of those clients are persons of color, predominately African-Americans and Latino(a)s.
