HIV & AIDS OUTREACH PROGRAM
One
of the hardest things a person may hear in his/her lifetime is
that he/she is infected with the HIV virus, or that they have
AIDS. In an effort to try to reduce the number of people
affected by HIV or AIDS, Indian River County Health Department has
developed an excellent outreach program. We offer free
counseling to patients and family members.
Additionally, we will go into any business, church or
organization within Indian River County to provide free
education about how to prevent the spread of HIV or AIDS. By
educating the community about the virus and how it is spread, we
hope to ease some of the fears that people have about HIV or AIDS.
HIV TESTING
We offer Confidential and Anonymous HIV
Testing.
Results are usually available in three weeks. A fee of $20.00 is
normally charged for an HIV test. The fee can also be waived
under special circumstances.
HIV & AIDS PATIENT CARE
We
provide multiple services to persons with HIV.
For primary care,
medical care, case management, and Medicaid Waiver
information, please call (772) 794-7400.
