HIV & AIDS Program
Testing
We offer confidential or anonymous testing for people who may have been exposed to HIV.
Testing is offered on a sliding scale with a maximum fee of $20. Medical coupons are accepted. We will not deny services to anyone because of an inability to pay.
Please call to make an appointment at (360) 740-1368. A Spanish language interpreter is available; please ask for this service when you make your appointment.
Free condoms, lubricant and educational materials are also available.
HIV Positive Services
We understand the importance of providing caring, informed and accepting support for those living with HIV.
We provide case management, which includes confidential assessment, resource identification/coordination, and support for individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS.
Education and Outreach
Our staff is trained in the most current information and prevention strategies on HIV & AIDS. We offer STD and HIV Prevention Education classes with an emphasis on risk reduction for high risk populations.
All who need services are welcome.
We do not discriminate against anyone.
