Overview

What is +Action?

Positive Action (+Action) is an HIV prevention program. More specifically, it’s a “prevention with positives” program, also know as "P3" . That means that it is designed to serve the HIV-Positive Community. Positive Action focuses on the active role HIV-Positive people can take in preventing the spread of the disease to others and in keeping themselves free of STDs and other health risk factors while maintaining a healthy sex philosophy. At the same time it aims to give the Positive community in San Diego a stronger voice and a new recognition in the struggle to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

How do we propose to do all that?
We start by providing prevention education and support to people living with HIV/AIDS through groups, workshops, events, outreach, condom distribution, individual sessions, and much more. We make sure that we’re providing the best possible services by utilizing the Positive Action Steering Committee. We created a Mission Statement that reflects our commitment to treating people as whole people- not as numbers.
