Education is the key to preventing HIV transmission. Through targeted outreach and the use of changing educational tools and techniques, we are able to reach those at risk for HIV infection. All of our services are available in both Spanish and English. Todos nuestros servicios servicios se ofrecen en Español.
Here's
a great internship opportunity for anyone venturing into the
public health, nursing, social service or counseling fields.
Pacific Pride Foundation's HIV test counselor staff and
volunteers provide the most compassionate and confidential
services to the most high risk populations in Santa Barbara
County. We are always in need of support for our busy
HIV testing days:
All HIV Testing for the month of December will be on an appointment-only basis; clinics in North and South County will resume walk-in status beginning January 5 of 2009. Please call Dana Campagna at (805) 963-3636 x122 to make an appointment. Thank you.

Our Education and Prevention team offers informative and interactive presentations on topics ranging from HIV/AIDS, safer sex, Hepatitis C, and HIV and substance use. We cater our presentations to fit the needs of any audience. We also provide speakers who are living with HIV/AIDS upon special request. Please contact Dana Campagna at (805) 963-3636 ext 122 for more information.
This program serves people living with HIV/AIDS in our community by offering them health information, the chance to participate in social events, and the opportunity to network with others. Previous events have included horseback riding, retreats, and a trip to an amusement park. Our goal is to empower our clients though knowledge, understanding, and friendship. More Info…Please contact Cassandra Chavez at 805-963-3636 ext. 106.
In order to officially conduct HIV risk assessments and
disclose HIV test results to individuals who test anonymously
for HIV antibodies, you must first become certified by the
State Office of AIDS. This requires a 4 1/2 day training
course provided by the University of California San
Francisco's
AIDS Health Project and offered in Santa Barbara
twice a year. This course is free to those who are or
who will be volunteering with Pacific Pride Foundation. This
training teaches you everything on HIV testing, HIV and the
Law, Counseling skills, Crisis Intervention, HIV Disease and
AIDS, current treatment issues, Rapid Testing and much, much
more. This is also a great opportunity to serve your
community, provide education and prevention messages that help
curb the spread of HIV and the further infection of those who
may be at risk.
To sign up for an upcoming training please contact Stephen Neal, Director of Education (805) 963-3636 x 134, or Fidel Villanueva,
Santa Barbara County HIV Testing Coordinator (805) 681-5120.
