California: AIDS Hotline Expands to Cover State, Increases Hours

On July 1, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation's English, Spanish, and Filipino AIDS information and referral hotline will begin taking calls from the entire state. Previously it served only Northern California.

The hotline's new hours will be 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.

The statewide phone number is 800/367-AIDS; the local number in San Francisco is 415/863-AIDS. (The old number for the AIDS Project Los Angeles hotline, which previously served Southern California, will work for the next few weeks, and automatically transfer calls to the statewide hotline.) The TDD number for the deaf is 888/225-AIDS.
