Illinois HIV Care Connect offers free medical case management services for HIV-positive clients regardless of income. There are eight regional offices throughout the state.
Individuals may qualify for other HIV Care Connect services based on income and insurance status. Services available include, but are not limited to, outpatient healthcare, mental health, oral health, medical nutritional therapy, and outpatient substance abuse counseling.
Providers should contact the regional project director for referral to a case manager. Case managers will inform clients of which services are available to them.
