linking HIV-positive Long Islanders with health care and other community resources
Living with HIV isn’t easy, but getting help is. This website – IGetCare.com – is designed to link HIV-positive Long Islanders with health care and other community resources. Whether you're newly diagnosed with HIV/AIDS or are a long term survivor, getting regular medical care is an important part of monitoring and maintaining your health.

 

We’ll help you come up with a plan that works for you, whether you’re newly diagnosed or a long term survivor, whether you’ve never been in care or are looking to re-connect.

People with HIV are living healthier and longer lives. Yet, many in Nassau and Suffolk are not taking advantage of the latest research findings and treatment developments. Experts estimate that more than 2,000 HIV-positive Long Islanders are either not in care or are seeing doctors only sporadically, usually when they aren’t feeling well or are experiencing serious symptoms. That translates into thousands of missed opportunities.

Maybe you never sought care after you were diagnosed. Maybe you went to the doctor a few times and then stopped going. Maybe you’ve put off going doctor because you’ve been busy, had a bad experience in the past, aren’t sure where to go, or are unsure about how you will pay for your health care.

We can answer your questions, help find the best doctor for you, and show you how to get HIV health care and medications regardless of your ability to pay. We’ll help you come up with a complete plan that works for you and your situation.

We’ll also connect you to a variety of free and confidential community resources located in communities across Long Island. Medical care, substance abuse treatment, counseling, support groups, transportation and a variety of other services are available to you right now close to home. We can also help you get Medicaid, AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), public assistance and other benefits.

Being connected to care is real important. We'll make it easy.
