SF AIDS Walk



San Francisco Medical Society was among the first in San Francisco (and in California) to push for legalized syringe exchange programs, appropriate tracking and reporting processes, optimal funding, and more. The SFMS was, naturally, at the center of medical advocacy for solid responses to the AIDS epidemic. Due to our advocacy, we were able to get the California Medical Association to adopt state policy on HIV prevention and treatment.

The progress that has been made is extraordinary but there is still more work to be done. On July 19, the 29th Annual Aids Walk San Francisco will take place. Quest Diagnostics, is once again a Premier Sponsor of the event, which will continue to benefit Project Inform as well as dozens of other AIDS service organizations in the Bay Area.

Ricky Kim, Director and Project Management of Infectious Disease at Quest Diagnostics said, “As the leading provider of HIV testing services in the US, we are proud of our partnership with AIDS Walk San Francisco and its lead beneficiary, Project Inform – an organization whose goals are so strongly in line with ours. Both through our sponsorship and by organizing a large team of our employees, AIDS Walk San Francisco provides us with an ideal opportunity for Quest Diagnostics to better educate and serve the Bay Area community.

Quest Diagnostics has planned many unique activations at the Quest Diagnostics booth throughout the day. Activities include body/face painting stations, a dedication station where one can publicly recognize those they are walking in honor/memory of and a scavenger hunt along the walk route with prizes benefiting well-deserving organizations.
