Important Notes

  • Some clinics can see men only.

  • People who need immediate treatment for exposure to HIV must be seen within 72 hours of being exposed.
    An OOHC clinic might not be available in that time-frame and patients should go to an Urgent Care or Emergency Department instead.

  • People who have been sexually assaulted or raped must go to an Emergency Department and cannot be seen at OOHC.

  • OOHC Sexual Health Clinics do not offer contraception or abortion services.
    Please see your primary care provider about these.
