SAAF was the first community-based organization created in response to the epidemic of HIV/AIDS in San Antonio. Founded in 1986, SAAF began as a volunteer-run hospice by Robert Edwards, known as Papa Bear. SAAF provided residential nursing and hospice services for 30 years to nearly 2000 individuals living with HIV/AIDS.

With the advent of effective antiretroviral treatment, the focus shifted away from AIDS hospice care to supporting those living with HIV. In 2017, SAAF closed its residential nursing facility and transitioned to a community-based out patient HIV clinic. In 2021, SAAF expanded its clinic services to include treatment of other STIs while maintaining core services including meals, case management, mental health services, oral health care, testing (HIV, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia), outreach, and education. These wrap around services also include rental assistance, transitional housing, emergency financial assistance, medical transportation and substance use counseling. SAAF’s education program reaches 15,000 individuals annually.
