Our History
APEB (AIDS Project of the East Bay) was founded in 1983 by Oakland physician Dr. Robert C. Scott as a program of the Pacific Center for Human Growth in Berkeley. In the early days of the AIDS epidemic, knowledge was power. Dr. Scott provided safer sex information to people at risk for HIV infection from his clinic waiting room to public sex environments and points between.
Today, APEB provides comprehensive sexual health education, testing, and treatment services, while continuing to provide enhanced specialty services for people living with HIV in Alameda County.
"Sexual health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence."

Our Vision
Alameda County will become a place where new HIV infections are rare and when they do occur, every person regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic circumstance, will have unfettered access to high quality, life-extending care, free from stigma and discrimination.
