World AIDS Day reminds us all of how far we have come with HIV, and how much farther we have to go. At the Clinician Consultation Center, we have the special opportunity every day of helping to prevent HIV transmission and to improve the care of those with HIV. Nothing could be more rewarding for us. We want to encourage you as clinicians to avail yourselves of our consultation services. We work hard to support you as part of our communal efforts to end HIV in our lifetimes.

As part of UCSF, the AIDS Education and Training Centers of the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the CDC, we wholeheartedly support the 2014 World AIDS Day message: “Focus, Partner, Achieve: An AIDS-free Generation.” Our free clinical consultation services help advance this work by providing expert consultation and education on HIV prevention, testing and treatment, and on the management of potential exposures to HIV both in the workplace and in the community. And you can help us continue to provide this work by getting the message out to your colleagues about our consultation services:
