Hepatitis C and HIV Care

The VIDC actively seeks out the missing Hepatitis C (HCV) and HIV thousands through our Community Pop-up Clinics in the Vancouver Downtown East Side and the interior areas of Vancouver.

​

We do more than just prescribe treatment medication - we value maintaining patient engagement. With the VIDC-innovated "Four-Legged Chair" model, we provide tailored, multidisciplinary care that addresses the medical, psychological, addiction-related and social needs of each patient. 

 

From diagnosis, starting treatment to long-term follow up, let us take you through an example of HCV / HIV care at VIDC.
