Here at Porch Light Health, we know that a new HIV diagnosis, or the search for care that finally fits your life, can feel overwhelming. We offer confidential, medically focused HIV care and antiretroviral therapy (ART) across Colorado and New Mexico, with same-day starts when it's clinically appropriate.
This page explains how our HIV services work, who they're for, and how to begin. If you're living with HIV and want care close to home, we're here to help you start and stay in treatment.
The opioid epidemic has driven a rise in blood-borne infections, and HIV is one of them. Sharing needles and other injection equipment that hasn't been sterilized is a well-documented way HIV spreads, and injection drug use has exposed more people to that risk.
Health issues tied to substance use rarely travel alone. When someone living with HIV is also managing opioid or alcohol use, the addiction can be overlooked, and coordinated care becomes harder to find.
Research shows that people with drug-related infections do better when addiction care and infectious disease care work together. HIV-positive patients in
substance use treatment often show stronger viral suppression and better adherence to their ART regimens. That's why we treat both at the same time, in one connected care team.
If you or someone you love needs HIV care that also addresses substance use or mental health, take the next step. Call Porch Light Health today at
