We provide comprehensive HIV treatment, prevention, and post-exposure care for ages 13 years old and up at three locations in the Charlotte Metropolitan Area. We have AAHIVM-certified HIV specialists who are diligent in remaining up to date on the evolving treatments for HIV. We also offer free HIV testing for eligible patients. If you are looking for compassionate HIV healthcare, then Amity Medical Group could be the perfect fit for you.

We have the potential to bring an end to the HIV epidemic with these three tools:

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), is starting medication before you have HIV to prevent it.

PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis), is starting medication to prevent HIV if you are HIV negative and have been exposed to the virus.

TasP (treatment as prevention), refers to taking HIV medication to prevent the transmission of HIV. This is also the basis of U=U (undetectable equals untransmissible) - https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/treatment-prevention

Most importantly, know your status!

We have partnered with Avant Pharmacy and Wellness to provide on-site access to prescriptions.

Amity Medical Group is committed to providing affordable care to patients for treatment and prevention of HIV. We work hard to remove barriers to care for patients by offering assistance through multiple grant programs. Call and ask to speak to a member of our Grant Department or send an email to grantteam@amitymed.org for additional information about enrollment for any of the following programs:

Ryan White Program provides access to care for patients with low or no income who are uninsured or underinsured. Services covered under the grant include medical care and treatment in our office directly related to the patient’s diagnosis. Our providers can also help coordinate care for other services if needed. Patients who are enrolled in the Ryan White program also receive assistance from our grant department staff to enroll in programs to assist with covering the cost of medications prescribed by their provider.

HIV Medication Assistance Program (HMAP) is designed to provide financial assistance to low-income state residents for the purchase of medications specifically used to combat HIV and opportunistic infections which are specific to AIDS.
