City Clinic Operations Update

We have reshaped our clinic experience to protect patients and staff from COVID-19 while still providing services. As of October 1, 2020, we are only seeing patients who:

• Have symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease (STD)

• Have a partner with an STD

• Have been contacted by a SF City Clinic staff person and asked to come in

• Are requesting HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) or pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)

• Are in our PrEP program and need STI/HIV testing and medication refills

• Are HIV positive and not on medication, and would like help getting into care

• Need contraception

If you haven’t been to the clinic recently, you will see many new safety measures in place at your next visit:

• Patients must call before coming (415-487-5500), to resolve as many issues as possible by phone and minimize time in clinic

• Temperature checks and symptom screening at entry for all visitors

• Our staff and patients wear face coverings at all times

• Physical distancing and increased cleaning of high-touch surfaces

• Even if you come into the clinic, some visit procedures may be performed by phone

• If our waiting room reaches capacity, you may need to wait outside the building
