Drew CARES

Drew CARES is a part of the Department of Preventive and Social Medicine at Charles R. Drew Universi

The Center for AIDS Research, Education and Services (Drew CARES) was established at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Watts, Willowbrook, and Compton areas of Los Angeles. We are composed of medical, social service, and research professionals devoted to addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic by providing prevention and treatment services to individuals in South Los Angeles, and also by conducting health disparity research focused on social, behavioral and clinical aspects of HIV/AIDS

Some of the services that Drew CARES provides includes HIV/AIDS primary care (through the OASIS Clinic), rapid HIV counseling and testing, street outreach services, PrEP navigation services, linkages to care, and benefit assistance.

Today, we recognize National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day. ❤️

As people with HIV live longer, access to compassionate, informed, and consistent care remains essential at every stage of life.

Aging with HIV deserves visibility, dignity, and support.
