The Project of Primary Health Care

The Project of Primary Health Care The Project at Primary Health Care provides HIV testing, prevention, treatment, and supportive services. The change took place, as planned, on January 1, 2013.

Services include free HIV testing, PrEP, STI testing and treatment, case management, and connections to ongoing medical care through PHC clinics.
