The Project of Primary Health Care

Nurse & Case Management for folks living with HIV & free HIV & STI Testing for all community members! The change took place, as planned, on January 1, 2013.

The AIDS Project of Central Iowa formally joined forces with Primary Health Care, Inc. (PHC), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and federally qualified community health center. The Project and PHC have been partnering for 20+ years to offer a broad array of services for Iowans at risk for and living with HIV. Now a full continuum of services from testing to treatment is available through one organization. Staff at both
agencies have been working together to not only maintain, but expand, access to care, support, and prevention services.
