Strut (San Francisco AIDS Foundation)

Strut is the San Francisco AIDS Foundation's health and wellness center in the heart of the Castro, a bright, welcoming space built specifically for gay, bisexual and trans communities. Inside you'll find free and low-cost sexual-health services — HIV and STI testing, PrEP and PEP, vaccinations — alongside counseling, substance-use support, and social programs, all delivered without judgment. More than a clinic, Strut functions as a community anchor: it hosts workshops, support groups, and events, and continues the Foundation's decades-long legacy at the center of San Francisco's response to HIV. For travelers, it's a reliable, queer-competent resource on Castro Street; for locals, it's a cornerstone of everyday LGBTQ+ health and connection.
