“PPF is a place to learn about LGBTQ histories.

It's a place to make LGBTQ history.”

–Jessie, Youth Advocate Leader 2015

Education is key to preventing the spread of HIV. Our Health Utility Vehicle (HUV) can be spotted around Santa Barbara County providing mobile tests and harm reduction services.

HIV Education & Prevention Services

PPF is home to a dynamic range of services and activities that support the needs of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning (LGBTq) individuals of every race, gender, age, sexuality, religion, economic status and range of ability in Santa Barbara County.

“I saw PPF create community when we lacked visibility...and engage in conversations that made us feel seen and valued and together. PPF and the wonderful people I met there were my family when my own was a shadow. I will always be grateful for its presence, support and positive influence on my life.”

–Community Volunteer

All of our HIV Education & Prevention Services are available in both Spanish and English. Todos nuestros servicios de Educación y Prevención se ofrecen en Español.
