HIV & AIDS testing & treatments

Advocate Health Care has developed innovative programs to educate and test people for HIV/AIDS.

Our health educators are providing each patient with a wealth of information including:

• How the virus is spread
• Who is at risk
• What you need to know about testing

Advocate uses the latest therapies to treat the disease and care for the emotional well-being of the patient and loved ones.

Excellence in HIV/AIDS services

Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center has a long and distinguished history of caring for patients with HIV and AIDS. A team of more than 80 health care professionals in inpatient and outpatient settings help people with HIV/AIDS live healthier, more fulfilling lives. Research evaluating new anti-retroviral agents and the testing of an AIDS vaccine are ongoing.

Supporting you

We seek to make a positive impact on the community with outreach programs centered on HIV/AIDS awareness and testing. Advocate Trinity Hospital offers no-cost oral HIV tests to patients waiting to be seen in its emergency department. In addition, through Advocate Charitable Foundation, HIV programs are now serving nearby west side Chicago neighborhoods.
