it's emotional being back here and it's the first time i have been back on this ward since i left and became supervisor. i want to salute the people that work onward 86 and work at my hospital. they are my hero. thank you. [applause] i need to introduce the next speaker. i would like to introduce dr. thomas aragon. >> good morning, how is everyone? my name is dr. thomas aragon, i am the public health officer in the city of san francisco and i grow up in this neighborhood. in 1988 i started clinical training here so i am very proud to be here today as your health officer.

in san francisco in the department of public dealtdeparr approach is based on embodying and promoting universal dignity and equity for all. our new mission statement is protect health and well-being for all in san francisco. our vision, making san francisco the healthiest place on earth. mayor mark ferrell and my district supervisor jeff sheehy. what's up. sorry. embody and promote these values and the biggest champions of making san francisco the healthiest place on earth.

we owe a huge gratitude to them. yoheard about the racial disparities. in african-american men it is 2.5 higher and for latinos it is 2.1 higher and our campaigns we are goin doing. when you have a chance look at some of these amazing posters. this was done with a lot of work doing ethnographic research in the community and figuring out how to do this from a strength-based perspective. john melacar is leading this effort at the department of public health.

first san francisco deemploys a world class syringe access and disposal program because it is the best evident-based practice that reduces syringe sharing among persons and reducing hiv, hepatitis c and hepatitis b. second, for reducing risk of infection from syringes they are the most important group to reduce infections because they have the highest risk of getting multiple pathogen. i want to end by reminding us by keeping the prevalence of infection as low as possible by

persons who inject are important to all of us and moves us toward our vision of making fran the healthiest place on earth. thank you. [applause] >> my name is himen scott. i am a physician here and i moved to san francisco to train and work at ucsf to work at this clinic, so i am a proud provider here and i am proud of the staff -- here we take care of patients living with hiv and at risk for hiv offering prep. i started a young african-american on prep who moved to san francisco and heifehadnever heard of it.

he heard about it from his friends and sex partner. this is the power of how networks and friends and families and partners can influence individual's uptake of prep. i think campaigns are a great way to encourage this conversation and prep is more than taking a pill. it's a program and for this young man we were able to get him connected to primary care and get him his vaccinations and ensure he had other support he needed, access to housing and case math and some structural barriers that african-american and latino man are facing on a daily base. basis. the prep navigation was supported by the getting to zero program and our navigators communicate with this patient almost daily when he initiated prep in an effort to keep him on

help. we have seen several zero conversions particularly among afric.we have seen this challenh uptake and pir cis tense and staying on prep and the getting to zero campaigns are in place to support these individuals staying in care, so i along with the navigator text with my patient frequently to help him stay engaged and meeting him where he is and i think that is the ethos for all the work that we do here and not just forcing people into a system that might not work for them but trying to change the system so it does work for them because we want to help people stay in care whether living with hiv or wanting to

access prep. i want to turn the podium over to diane halvelier for remarks and closeout. >> good morning. i am diane halvelier and i am a professor and physician and have been working in the aids response since the epidemic. people come from all over the world to see our beautiful city. people from the health world come from all around the world to see getting to zero. as you heard getting to zero is an imwish effort to get to zero new infections, zero deaths from hiv and zero stigma and we have set a target of 90% reductions by 2020 an 2020 about less than0

infections per year. this was launched by many of the people standing up here in 2013 when we met together at the lgbt center and realized we could do more with strategy and coordination across sectors. when we launched getting to zero, we had a first few flagship programs and the first was expanding prep. we also have a program where we are trying to strengthen care, people who have fallen out of care and we need to welcome them and we sponsor add progra sponsm called rapid. between the time someone gets tested and they start care they

fall out of the system. here right down the hall, ground zero for hiv care, we started a rapid program where we offer treatment on the same day that people are infected with hiv. this is good for the individual and keeps them healthier and reduces transmission. dr. coffee, the director is standing at the back of the room and i'm sure would love to answer any question. last week i was at the united nations at a meeting for for geneva and one of my colleagues who runs the program in ban rock. they startebangkok.they startedr results are better than ours and it shows you the exten extent ad impact we are having. back to san francisco are we

getting results from getting to zero? i think we do have. we have 50% in reduction. contrast that to the united states where over 6 years we only had 16% reduction. it is going to get harder because we are going to need to address disparities in our city. everyone knows about these and that is where this funding is so important because this funding is going to be target as you heard on prevention and treatment for populations that are disproportionately affected by the epidemic including african-americans, transgender, hihispanicings and transgendered youth. just to step back and summarize and say this funding is crucial because of the status quo we are

not going to make it and secondly this funding reflecting the values of our city. finally, this funding is going to benefit the citizens of our city, but also the hiv community around the world and for that you are fulfilling your service to others and we ever deep gratitude, so thank you very much. [applause] >> that's it everyone. the press conference is over and i think all of us would be happy to answer any questions on the side. thank you.[music]

diagnosis treatment for sex workers. there's been a big increase in std rates after the earthquake and the fire a lot of people were homeless and there were more sex work and were homeless sex workers. there were some public health experts who are pretty progressive for their time thought that by providing std diagnosis and treatmentsex workers that we might be able to get a handle on std rates in san francisco. >> when you're at the clinic you're going to wait with whoever else is able to register at the front desk first. after you register your seat in the waiting room and wait to be seen. after you are called you come to the back and meet with a healthcare provider can we determine what kind of testing to do, what samples to collect what medication somebody might need. plus prophylactics is an hiv prevention method highly effective it involves folks taking a daily pill to prevent hiv. recommended both by the

cdc, center for disease control and prevention, as well as fight sf dph, two individuals clients were elevated risk for hiv. >> i actually was in the project here when i first started here it was in trials. i'm currently on prep. i do prep through city clinic. you know i get my tests read here regularly and i highly recommend prep >> a lot of patients inclined to think that there's no way they could afford to pay for prep. we really encourage people to come in and talk to one of our prep navigators. we find that we can help almost everyone find a way to access prep so it's affordable for them. >> if you times we do have opponents would be on thursday morning. we have two different clinics going on at that time. when is women's health services. people can make an appointment either by calling them a dropping in or emailing us for that. we also have an hiv care clinic that happens on that morning as well also by

appointment only. he was city clinic has been like home to me. i been coming here since 2011. my name iskim troy, client of city clinic. when i first learned i was hiv positive i do not know what it was. i felt my life would be just ending there but all the support they gave me and all the information i need to know was very helpful. so i [inaudible] hiv care with their health >> about a quarter of our patients are women. the rest, 75% are men and about half of the men who come here are gay men or other men who have sex with men. a small percent about 1% of our clients, identify as transgender. >> we ask at the front for $25 fee for services but we don't turn anyone away for funds. we

also work with outside it's going out so any amount people can pay we will be happy to accept. >> i get casted for a pap smear and i also informed the contraceptive method. accessibility to the clinic was very easy. you can just walk in and talk to a registration staff. i feel i'm taken care of and i'm been supportive. >> all the information were collecting here is kept confidential. so this means we can't release your information without your explicit permission get a lot of folks are concerned especially come to a sexual health clinic unless you have signed a document that told us exactly who can receive your information, we can give it to anybody outside of our clinic. >> trance men and women face really significant levels of discrimination and stigma in their daily lives. and in healthcare. hiv and std rates in san francisco are particularly and strikingly

high were trans women. so we really try to make city clinic a place that strands-friendly trance competent and trans-welcoming >> everyone from the front desk to behind our amazement there are completely knowledgeable. they are friendly good for me being a sex worker, i've gone through a lot of difficult different different medical practice and sometimes they weren't competent and were not friendly good they kind of made me feel like they slapped me on the hands but living the sex life that i do. i have been coming here for seven years. when i come here i know they my services are going to be met. to be confidential but i don't have to worry about anyone looking at me or making me feel less >> a visit with a clinician come take anywhere from 10 minutes if you have a straightforward concern, to over an hour if something goes on that needs a little bit more help. we have some testing with you on site. so all of our samples we collect here.

including blood draws. we sent to the lab from here so people will need to go elsewhere to get their specimens collect. then we have a few test we do run on site. so those would be pregnancy test, hiv rapid test, and hepatitis b rapid test. people get those results the same day of their visit. >> i think it's important for transgender, gender neutral people to understand this is the most confidence, the most comfortable and the most knowledgeable place that you can come to. >> on-site we have condoms as well as depo-provera which is also known as [inaudible] shot. we can prescribe other forms of contraception. pills, a patch and rain. we provide pap smears to women who are uninsured in san francisco residents or, to women who are enrolled in a state-funded program called family pack. pap smears are the recommendation-recommended screening test for monitoring for early signs of cervical cancer. we do have a fair

amount of our own stuff the day of his we can try to get answers for folks while they are here. whenever we have that as an option we like to do that obviously to get some diagnosed and treated on the same day as we can. >> in terms of how many people were able to see in a day, we say roughly 100 people.if people are very brief and straightforward visits, we can sternly see 100, maybe a little more. we might be understaffed that they would have a little complicated visits we might not see as many folks. so if we reach our target number of 100 patients early in the day we may close our doors early for droppings. to my best advice to be senior is get here early.we do have a website but it's sf city clinic.working there's a wealth of information on the website but our hours and our location. as well as a kind of kind of information about stds, hiv,there's a lot of information for providers on our list as well. >> patients are always welcome to call the clinic for there's

a lot of information for providers on our list as well. >> patients are always welcome to call the clinic for 15, 40 75500. the phones answered during hours for clients to questions. >> >> >> welcome to our 2018 mayor's teacher paraeducator and principal of the year awards. this is our 11th year of honoring our public schoolteacher and ninth year of honoring our principals and first year of honoring our paraeducator.

fortitude to continue what you do and thank you to the community because a good teacher or educator can only thrive when supported by their community. you all are receiving educator of the year awards but you deserve much more. i remember my first year as a reading recovery teacher i had a student who was a cute little 6-year-old but he was clinically depressed. he came from a traumatized background and i remember telling my supervisor i don't think i can teach this child to read. she said you are a reading teacher, teach him to read and see what happen. i was able to teach him to read and write and he reached proficiency and somewhere his self-esteem shifted and it was part of him turning the corner. dition to receiving the award

that you are receiving, i would like to nominate you all for psychologist of the year, social worker of the year. [laughter] life coach of the year.

of that. appreciation can also come through the gift of making sure that you have time to do your job properly and each of you knows what that means in your own job. i have a particular angle i want to share with you. it also means in this world of 2018 making sure that educators are not spending time giving assessment that is are not useful for their teaching and sharing with you the information that the board of education received recommendations from a joint district family union assessment community which includes i limb natio eliminatie assessment, so brought we forward and that means less teaching and more learning. that is a gift to you of time. i know that is really stretching it, but i had to put it in. [laughter] one last form of appreciation

which you are all aware, appreciation can and should mean a living wage, so i'm shameless. [applause] i'm shameless and determined that educators in the city will have a living wage from here on in and so on june 5 san francisco ha has the opportunito vote yes on prop g. thank you very much and enjoy the rest of the reception.
