About us

---

Prevention Healthcare Services is a limited service laboratory that was created in 2019 to provide mobile laboratory HIV and HCV testing for those healthcare facilities who are required by law to offer this testing, but have not yet done so because of their lack of trained, available staff.  Prevention Healthcare Services completed the Capacity Building Assistance for High Impact Prevention (HIP) in Health Care program funded by the CDC to support clinical HIV testing and prevention, and we are a part of the CDC National Prevention Information Network (NPIN); we are also a member of the National Coalition of STD Directors.  We are licensed by the NYSDOH, and are CLIA certified to provide HIV, HCV, chlamydia trachomatis, neisseria gonorrhoeae, COVID-19 antigen and COVID-19 RT-PCR (molecular) testing and community screening.  We are also required by law to provide confirmatory testing for any reactive HIV or HCV test, and to provide linkage to care for those who test positive for HIV and/or HCV.  

Our mission is to increase testing for infectious diseases by offering  fast and convenient testing to patients, businesses, and healthcare facilities, and to offer testing for infectious diseases in patient settings where testing is required or recommended, but is lacking or does not exist.
