Since 2001 I have been the in-house graphic designer at the UCSF AIDS Health Project, creating a broad array of materials including newsletters, banners, ads, promo cards, annual reports, web design, fund-raising materials and more.
The AIDS Health Project, founded in 1984, is one of the oldest AIDS service organizations in the United States. It serves more than 8,000 clients per year, employs approximately 100 full- and part-time employees, and has an annual budget of about $6 million. AHP is a program of the Department of Psychiatry of the University of California San Francisco and is affiliated with San Francisco General Hospital. The AIDS programs of both of these institutions are ranked among the best in the United States.
AHP is one of the primary providers of HIV-related mental health care in San Francisco. AHP serves people with HIV disease, HIV-negative people, the friends, family members, and partners of people with HIV disease, and HIV caregivers. In this capacity, AHP has pioneered many of the mental health interventions used to serve people with HIV and those seeking to remain uninfected. To share these experiences and magnify the effects of our expertise, AHP is a leading developer of HIV-related publications and training programs for people working with HIV.
