Infectious Disease Clinic
Purpose
The Infectious Diseases Clinic is an outpatient ambulatory clinic located on the 3rd floor of the Medical Mall. We perform complete medical evaluations of HIV-infected patients to include active-duty, retired military, and dependents. Many of our HIV-positive patients are actively enrolled in ongoing research protocols in coordination with the Henry M. Jackson Foundation. We provide telephonic and limited on-site consultative services to other military hospitals. Our focus is on early intervention to delay disease progression and promote optimal health. The Infectious Diseases Clinic also provides infectious disease consultative and follow-up care to eligible surgical and medical inpatients and outpatients. Finally, the ID Clinic offers immunization services to eligible beneficiaries for routine adult immunizations.
