We see patients regardless of insurance or no insurance and work with you to obtain coverage, if needed. No referral is needed, and appointments are typically scheduled within 48 hours. We provide care in downtown Charleston, Summerville/Nexton, and telehealth.

If you are newly diagnosed with HIV or wish to transfer your HIV care, please contact Megan Ohorodnyk, MSN, RN, Ryan White Nurse Manager, at 843-792-7485 to schedule an initial appointment.

If you are interested in starting PrEP (a medication that prevents you from acquiring HIV) then we can link you to this as well.
