Healing Wings/HIV AIDS Center

 

At the Healing Wings Outpatient Center, our goal is to provide high quality HIV/AIDS care to our patients in a calm, comfortable and welcoming environment. We strive to make sure you have the medical and emotional support you need in our outpatient center, located just north of John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth.

Getting tested for HIV is easy and fast. We offer free HIV testing using the Alere test, which provides results in 20 minutes. This is a fingerstick test that is based on whole blood sample. Free HIV testing is offered to anyone in the community ages 13 or older at our center, as well as other JPS Health Centers.

Please call 817-702-3701 to ensure tester availability.
