HIV Care

HIV can impact anyone regardless of sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, gender, or age. At Western North Carolina Community Health Services, we provide extensive HIV care through the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program provides funding to assist with the cost of providing outpatient medical care and related services for people living with HIV. Thus, this program enables us to offer high-quality, affordable medical care and support services to people living with HIV across the 18 counties of Western North Carolina, where we are the sole Ryan White-funded care provider. Our integrated HIV services include medical, dental, and behavioral health care, all provided by skilled and compassionate clinicians in one convenient location. Visit us for dedicated and comprehensive primary and HIV care in your area.
