Looking for a Primary Care Provider (PCP) Who Knows HIV?

A red ribbon for HIV awareness

HIV prevention and treatment have come incredibly far—and your primary care doctor should reflect that progress.

Whether you’re considering PrEP, PEP, or DoxyPEP, or already using them, it matters to have a PCP who is knowledgeable, sex-positive, and LGBTQ+ affirming. These conversations should feel routine, respectful, and free of shame.

At our practice, we genuinely love HIV prevention and care. To us, starting PrEP when medically indicated is an act of both self-care and community care—and we’re happy to be your partner in that process.

Good HIV-informed primary care also means helping with the real-world logistics: coordinating labs, navigating insurance, and ensuring reliable access to medications, so prevention and treatment don’t become a burden.

On a case-by-case basis, we also manage HIV treatment medications, with an emphasis on continuity, goal of undetectable levels, access, and feeling heard.

You deserve a PCP who stays current, listens well, and takes HIV prevention and care seriously. We’d be honored to support you.
