DIRECTORY: Testing and treatment facilities
The Early Test is a collaboration between the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency and the UCSD Antiviral Research Center. The Early Test offers free HIV testing as early as one week after a potential exposure. The Early Test also detects hepatitis C infection. Early detection of hepatitis C is helpful because treatment options and outcomes vary depending on the stage of infection.
The UCSD Mother, Child, and Adolescent HIV Program provides comprehensive, family-centered HIV care to women, children and youth.
A multidisciplinary team of HIV specialists provides medical care, clinical research trials, patient education, counseling, case management, peer advocacy, and community education.
The Owen Clinic, established in 1982, and directed by W. Christopher Mathews, MD, is a multidisciplinary primary care clinic for adults with HIV infection. The clinic currently cares for more than 3000 patients with support of the Ryan White Care Act. The Owen Clinic Database (an electronic point-of-care medical record that uses a constrained vocabulary and electronically downloads the majority of laboratory test information), has proven to be invaluable for epidemiological and clinical investigation. The Database includes longitudinal data on more than 5000 patients. The Owen Clinic is also the home of the San Diego AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC).
The VA San Diego Health Care System provides a Special Infectious Disease Clinic that has treated more than 1800 veterans for HIV infection since the mid-1980s. Approximately 600 veterans are currently receiving care. The Special ID clinic, in combination with UCSD's Owen Clinic, provide the majority of HIV-related care in the San Diego area.
