About Us
:ositive Force Logo

Positive Force is the STOP AIDS Project's HIV prevention program designed by and for HIV+ gay and bisexual men in San Francisco.

Originally funded in 1999 by the Centers for Disease Control and the City of San Francisco, Positive Force began as part of a larger citywide collaborative centered around the HIV Stops With Me media campaign.

Since it began, more than 8,000 gay men have attended Positive Force events. Positive Force works with HIV+ gay and bisexual men of all ages, ethnicities and economic backgrounds to help reduce the stigma of living with HIV and bring HIV+ guys into prevention activities through social support and educational events.

Positive Force

 Positive Force provides small social events, discussion groups, book clubs, large social events and community forums. All Positive Force events are designed and implemented by a group of HIV+ volunteers who are known as the Positive Force Advisory Group (PFAG) who recognize that when HIV+ gay and bisexual men feel more supported by their peers they are more inclined to disclose their HIV status to their partners.

The Positive Force program is dedicated to the program's Co-founder Robert Hays, Ph.D. who realized that even with the advent of HAART (Highly Active Anti-retroviral Treatment aka "The Cocktail"), HIV+ gay and bisexual men still needed to feel that they were a part of a community with their HIV+ brothers.
