Other program, which includes HIV/AIDS program, education and outreach, is also the oldest HIV testing site in the san fernando valley. With on-site testing available since 1987, the first year such testing was made available to the public. Since that time the clinic has continuously provided testing to populations at risk, including gay men, bi-sexual men, teens of both genders, and women. Our health education classes are designed to meet the community's needs. Most notable are the nutrition and prenatal classes for our expecting monthers as well as a rebust health education program designed to address sensitive teen issues.
