Looking For HIV Testing in Colombia? Find HIV Center

In September 2018, AHF launched its efforts in Colombia by opening a Health Provider Institution (IPS in Spanish) in San José de Cúcuta, a key border city with Venezuela, and the center of the largest influx of immigrants, many of which are in search of medical care.

AHF Colombia provides free medical care for sexually transmitted infections, rapid HIV testing, and access to antiretroviral treatment for people living with HIV. There are AHF offices in six cities: Bucaramanga, Cúcuta, Riohacha, Valledupar, Bogotá, and Cartagena.

The free services provided by AHF in Colombia for the general population include rapid HIV testing, linkage to care, counseling , and the delivery of condoms and lubricants.

In addition to those services, AHF Colombia also provides rapid tests for syphilis and hepatitis B and C, medical care, including ART, and food vouchers for those in irregular migration situations.

AHF Colombia offers extramural and community interventions, which emphasize prevention, rapid testing, and condom distribution. Additionally, the institution provides a comprehensive range of HIV prevention, diagnosis, care, and treatment services, including channeling and support for both national and foreign users who meet the requirements to access the Colombian health system.

AHF Colombia continues to work in partnership with local governments, OIM, Cruz Roja, Liga Sida, IPS Vivir Bien, and other organizations to expand service coverage to high risk populations.

AHF serves as the initial point of contact for thousands of immigrants seeking ARV treatment for HIV in Colombia. In 2015, when the largest wave of Venezuelan migrants came into the country, AHF was the sole organization offering comprehensive care to this population. Four years later the Governor of Norte de Santander commended AHF Colombia for its humanitarian work and efforts to reduce healthcare access barriers for the migrant population
