WASHINGTON HEALTH INSTITUTE’S RED CARPET PROGRAM
Providing Accessible, Convenient HIV Care In Washington, DC
Washington Health Institute in Washington, D.C. is proud to offer the Red Carpet Program. We believe that everyone— regardless of their socioeconomic status, sexuality, gender identification or racial background— deserves high-quality, consistent care. Our Red Carpet Program is designed to decrease barriers and delays in care for people living with, or at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS.
What Does The Red Carpet Program Entail?
Patients with HIV, or patients at high risk for HIV, need regular care and monitoring. The Red Carpet Program offers accessible, convenient care for anyone requesting PrEP/PEP, STI, Hepitatis-C, and people with HIV who have fallen out of care, and provides assistance with:
- Doctor’s visits
- Lab work and STI testing
- Medications
- Rapid HIV testing
- PEP/PrEP
During your first visit with us, you will meet with our compassionate Red Carpet Coordinator to discuss your concerns and needs. If you do not already have insurance, our coordinator will assist you to submit an insurance application. If you are not interested in applying for healthcare coverage, our coordinator will discuss our payment options and prices for patients without insurance. If you are unsure of your HIV status, our coordinator will then schedule or conduct a rapid HIV test.
Depending on the results of your test and your specific needs, there are two possible treatment paths:

No Insurance, No Problem
