HIV Outpatient Program

The HIV Outpatient Program (HOP) is an established Ambulatory Care Department within the Infectious Disease Services of University Medical Center New Orleans.

HOP has been recognized nationally for its multidisciplinary approach and serves as a medical home for people living with HIV.

Many services are available to people who receive their primary medical care with HOP. Some of the services include social services, behavioral health, dental care, health education, nutrition education, lab services, dental services, and medication assistance.
