HIV Services
The HIV Services department encompasses community outreach education, prevention programming, testing, and treatment. The HIV Testing program (the first site in Cleveland to offer such services) includes prevention, education, and treatment referrals in addition to testing. The Free Clinic is one of the only places in Greater Cleveland to provide both confidential and anonymous testing. We are also one of the few places to provide an improved rapid HIV test that gives clients their results in 20 minutes.
The Early Intervention Program (for clients diagnosed with HIV/AIDS) combines the interdisciplinary services of Medical, Behavioral Health, and case management services.
The Free Clinic also operates one of the only Syringe Exchange Programs in all of Ohio and four surrounding states. SEP focuses on reducing the incidence of HIV infection in high risk populations by providing injection drug users with clean supplies and education to slow the spread of blood borne disease.
