Pacific AETC – Bay Area, North & Central Coast
Pacific AIDS Education & Training Center - Bay Area, North & Central Coast
The Pacific AETC – Bay Area, North & Central Coast (Pacific AETC – BANCC) serves healthcare providers from San Luis Obispo County to the Oregon border on the California coast. San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area has been an epicenter of HIV/AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic and, therefore, boasts a rich history in cutting edge HIV research, care, treatment, and prevention. Most faculty are affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco and are practicing clinicians in community health centers and hospital clinics providing training and technical assistance tailored to these, and other allied healthcare, settings.
Pacific AETC – BANCC offers a variety of trainings and professional development activities, including mentoring and clinical preceptorships, focusing on HIV prevention, clinical management of HIV/AIDS and related major co-morbidities (e.g., mental health, substance use, and sexually transmitted infections). Programs target all members of care teams (frontline workers, clinicians, managers, etc.).
In addition, faculty can provide practice transformation (clinic capacity building assistance including clinical quality improvement or systems development) to maximize an organization’s ability to improve outcomes along the HIV prevention and care continuum. All programs utilize cutting edge, interactive training methodologies, designed to give busy providers and their agencies the most current information they need to provide quality HIV prevention and care.

Pacific AETC’s HIV Essentials and Quick Clinical Guides (Updated)
The Pacific AETC‘s HIV Essentials and Quick HIV Clinical Guides compilation consists of seven of our most popular clinical reference guides used in primary care, urgent care, and emergency room clinical settings. The recommendations are based on HRSA, CDC, IDSA, IAS-USA, and WHO guidelines, along with current practices used by our expert clinicians. This compilation starts with two “Essentials” documents which can be printed on single letter-sized pieces of paper and folded into a pocket for quick reference during a busy clinic. The protocols and quick clinical guides provide more details for implementation, and each document can be printed separately and used on their own.
