HIV and STI Clinical Care Connections

Description

There is a network of providers that support continuity of care for those in need of STI and HIV care, including:

Guilford County Division of Public Health’s Clinical Services offers STI appointments, including HIV testing, daily (weekdays, except holidays) and call early as same-day appointments are limited. For an appointment in either Greensboro or High Point, call 336-641-3245. Services are confidential and provided with no out of pocket expense for clients.

The Regional Center for Infectious Disease (RCID) provides care and treatment for Guilford County residents that are living with HIV. They accept new patients referred from a physician's office or other agency. In addition to serving people living with HIV/AIDS, RCID provides consultation and care services for all infectious diseases. The center also serves as a clinical research site for the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG), Family Health International (FHI), and Gilead Sciences. 

Central Carolina Health Network supports community partners to ensure that individuals living with HIV and AIDS in Guilford County and six other counties receive quality medical care and support services. 

Region III Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS) at the NC Department of Health and Human Services office in Greensboro play a crucial role in public health by controlling and preventing infectious diseases, particularly STIs, across several counties, including Rockingham, Caswell, Guilford, Alamance, Randolph, Stanly, and Montgomery. DIS conduct interviews with individuals diagnosed with diseases such as HIV and syphilis, trace their sexual and social networks, and provide education and resources to both patients and their contacts. They also ensure access to medical care and support, helping to reduce stigma and enhance community health outcomes.
