Our vets deserve nothing more than the best!

Special Infectious Disease Program (SPID) located in La Jolla, CA (a hilly, seaside neighborhood within the city of San Diego) at the VA Medical Center (really more of a hospital).

Services include HIV diagnoses and treatment for the health of the veteran.

You must be "eligible" to receive VA treatment before receive any HIV treatment. 

If you aren't sure, call the Call Center @ 1-858-552-7475 to fill out the application or go here.

When registering, mention that you seek HIV treatment so they may direct you to the SPID Clinic and they can assign you a HIV Specialist after registration.

This establishment offers Clinical Trials & Research, Education & Prevention, HIV Testing Services, Medical Care, Mental Health, PrEP Education and Veteran Help.
