Clinical Care Overview

“What you do today can improve all your tomorrows” 

-Ralph Marston

As of March 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates 1.2 million people are living with HIV and 1 in 5 people do not know their HIV status. The ultimate United States (U.S.) Public Health goal is to inform all HIV-positive persons of their status and bring them into care in order to improve their health status, prolong their lives and slow the spread of the epidemic in the U.S. through enhanced prevention efforts.

The CDC recommends that everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 get tested at least once and that high-risk groups get tested more often.

Getting tested can give you some important information and can help keep you—and others—safe.

Our clinic is staffed to provide testing and counseling by request during clinic hours.
