HIV / AIDS

La Clínica has been providing comprehensive HIV services since 1993. La Clínica links our HIV-Positive patients to medical case management, dental care, psychosocial support, mental health services, early intervention programs, vision services, and outpatient and ambulatory care services. Our wraparound services allow our HIV-Positive patients to access Behavioral Health Providers, Patient Navigators, Nutritionists, Medical Case Managers and Primary Care Providers all in one appointment.

In addition La Clínica also has a robust community-based HIV prevention program, Together Reaching Users Combating HIV and AIDS (TRUCHA). For over 25 years, La Clínica TRUCHA has delivered HIV testing and prevention services focusing on high-risk Latino MSM, and provided linkage to care for newly-identified HIV-positive clients.
