Virtual Tour of the Public Health Clinic

The ACHD Public Health Clinic is located in at 1908 Wylie Ave in the Hill District in the Blakey Building (Ground Floor). The clinic is handicap accessible through the parking lot and back door. Free on street parking is available in front of the clinic, as well as handicap parking in the lot next to the clinic.

All patients with an appointment, or a walk in visit, are required to take a number and clipboard and complete the intake form (yellow card). Patients are called by their number to ensure confidentiality. If you do not have a scheduled appointment, depending on patient volume in the clinic, you may have to wait longer than expected. Our clinic aims to provide services to patients in a timely manner. Patients may be called out of numerical order when appropriate.

We ask that patients bring a photo ID (i.e., driver’s license, passport, state ID, college ID) when you come to the registration booth with your number and intake form.

Your personal health information is protected by HIPPA. According to the recently enacted 21st Cures Act by Congress, you have greater access to view your medical information on line and health care providers may have access to your medical records for the coordination of your care.

During the visit, one of our clinicians will draw a blood sample and ask for a urine sample for STI/HIV testing to send to our on-site laboratory. The results of your tests will be provided to you by our clinic staff when the results are posted to the clinic from the lab.

We ask that patients wait 10 days before calling for results (412-578-8081). Your call will usually be answered right away or you can leave a message and a staff member will return your call within 1-2 business days (we are not open on the weekends).

We offer free treatment for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and trichomoniasis. Patient’s diagnosed with HIV will receive a referral for care at one of the local HIV treatment facilities.

Please note if this is a medical emergency, go to the nearest Emergency Department. If you are seeking Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) for HIV, go to the nearest health care provider. The ACHD Public Health Clinic does not provide PEP.

As stated above, some results can be provided on the same day. For other tests results, we ask that patients wait 10 days before calling the result line 412-578-7939. A staff member will return your call within 1-2 business days. If you end up with a positive test result, you will receive a call from a nurse to come in for treatment. You may receive a call from a Disease Intervention Specialist (DIS) to discuss current or previous sexual partners that might have been exposed.
