By: AIDS Healthcare Foundation

Los Angeles, CA - November 17, 2009

Actor Blair Underwood has been spotted all over Hollywood these days and not just on the red carpet. The longtime AIDS activist can be seen at intersections all over the city—or his likeness can, anyway—praising the quality of the care found at all twelve AHF Healthcare Centers in the greater Los Angeles area. The “HIV Care at Its Best” billboards feature an eye-catching image of the actor and direct viewers to visit the website www.HIVCare.org to find out more about what AHF Healthcare Centers have to offer.

“It is our hope that the billboards’ simple, appealing style will invite people to check out www.HIVCare.org and learn about the high-quality, expert care offered by the AHF Healthcare Centers,” said Michael Weinstein, President of AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF). “AHF Healthcare Centers offer patient-centered care designed specifically for HIV-positive clients. Our providers are experts in HIV/AIDS medical care and are knowledgeable of up-to-the-minute developments in the field.”

The care offered at AHF Healthcare Centers is comprehensive and part of a patient’s complete medical care—providing access to the additional specialists, medications and services clients need to stay as healthy as possible. The affiliated AHF Pharmacy is an additional benefit. AHF pharmacists specialize in HIV/AIDS medications and can work closely and collaboratively with AHF doctors to tailor a drug regimen to fit each client’s needs.
