CA is a huge state. Be more specific on your location in CA. That would be helpful.
Since I live in Northern CA I use One Community Health in Sacramento on 21st Street.

Go to the Ryan White Foundation website and search ur area. Also alot of other useful n helpful information on the site as well! R u legal? I ask bcuz without a green card or legal paperwork, it's going to be almost impossible to get any care anywhere. You can also go to the local emergency room and tell them ur hiv poz n just moved ther n u need ur hiv medication.

Look up Ryan White services in your area or your local health department should be able to help connect you to local resources.
