About the program

At the Men of Color Program (MOCP)/Black Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE), it’s all about you. We believe in listening to and working with our patients as partners and building trust, so you can achieve your best health and wellness.

 

Any HIV-positive man of color in the San Francisco area is welcome at MOCP for HIV treatment, general health care, mental health care and social support, sexual health care, health education, case management, and more.

We created MOCP to engage HIV-positive men of color with long-term, optimal care and support in a culturally competent, patient-centered environment. We later became a founding member of the Black Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE) to help engage and retain HIV-positive African-American men and women in San Francisco in comprehensive care and services. 

 

At UCSF 360, we are uniquely equipped to provide the treatment and tools to overcome barriers that contribute to HIV-related health disparities in disenfranchised populations.
