Our Programs

All IAM practices provide a number of health care programs as well as support groups. Our goal is to provide diverse and comprehensive health care services to address the needs of all our patients. Each site can provide information to you about services and groups within your primary care practice.

Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)

We provide 24/7 HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) services, through our PEP hotline, for people who may have been exposed to HIV in the past 72 hours. The hotline can be reached at 844-373-7692 (844-3-NYCPEP).

A large percentage of our staff identify as LGBTQIA+, and we work to ensure that our practices are welcoming, affirming and safe spaces for everyone to receive care.

Coming Home Program (CHP)

CHP, located at our Morningside Clinic, complements our on-site medical services with supportive services for those who have a history of involvement with the criminal justice system.

Enhanced Data-to-Care (eD2C) eD2C works with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to identify people with HIV who are out of care, have never been in care, or are at risk of falling out of care. Linkage specialists reach out to bring them into care, and link them to appropriate services and programs for ongoing case management and primary care.
