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 organi

zation. Staff at both
agencies have been working together to not only maintain, but expand, access to care, support, and prevention services.

📊 We’re proud to share that over 90% of our Ryan White Part C clients are virally suppressed — meaning their HIV is well-controlled and they can’t transmit the virus to others. This milestone is a huge step toward ending the HIV epidemic right here in Iowa. 💪🏽💊💚

At The Project of Primary Health Care, we know that access to affirming care, case management, and support services works — and our numbers prove it.

🧡 Today is World Hepatitis Day, and at The Project of Primary Health Care, we’re standing strong in the fight to eliminate hepatitis C.

Hepatitis C is often called the “silent” infection because many people don’t know they have it — but it can be treated and even cured. That’s why testing is so important.

💉 We offer FREE hepatitis C testing for those who qualify, and if you test positive, treatment is available right here at Primary Health Care. You won’t have to face it alone — our team will support you every step of the way.

📣 At The Project of Primary Health Care, we want to remind everyone that HIV doesn’t discriminate — it can affect anyone, regardless of gender, s*xuality, race, income, or background.

While some communities face higher risks due to systemic barriers, stigma, or lack of access to care, HIV is a virus that can impact everyone. That’s why education, testing, and compassionate care matter for every body.

We’re here to support you with inclusive, affirming services — because your health matters, no matter who you are.❤
