The most comprehensive HIV care in the Rappahannock region

We provide a full spectrum of HIV care and support services designed to meet the unique needs of individuals living with HIV. From case management and medical services to housing assistance and emotional support, our holistic approach ensures that every aspect of our clients’ well-being is addressed. Explore the range of services we offer to help improve health outcomes and enhance quality of life.

Medical and non-medical case management

Clients living with HIV that complete an eligibility screening are connected with a dedicated case manager to provide comprehensive support, including coordination of health care needs, ensuring continuity of care and coordination with other services. Case managers also assist clients with navigating life’s challenges, from housing to employment and everything in between, improving health outcomes and enhancing quality of life.

Medical transportation

Housing and utility assistance

Our care team follows the 'Housing First' model, aiming to address stable housing as a primary intervention on the path to better health for our clients living with HIV. When engaged in housing programs, individuals living with HIV are more likely to gain access to and remain in treatment for their HIV, reducing the likelihood of transmission. Through our Housing programs, FAHASS offers support in securing stable, affordable housing as well as financial support for rent or utilities.

Emergency food and fuel assistance

FAHASS provides vital support to individuals facing food insecurity or struggling to afford gas for transportation. Clients can access food & gas cards as well as get connected to local food pantries through their Case Manager. This assistance helps ensure those living with HIV can access essential services, attend medical appointments, and maintain treatment adherence without the added burden of financial strain.

Oral health

FAHASS facilitates specialized oral health care for individuals living with HIV, addressing the unique dental needs that can often arise alongside the autoimmune disease. Clients work directly with their Case Manager to secure funded dental services.

HIV/STI testing

Our team has been providing services and resources for people at risk of or living with HIV for over 30 years. Not only do we offer more accessible medical care through Mosaic Care Center, but clients also get connected to a caring and dedicated Case Manager who helps to facilitate connection to a variety of additional eligible services.

Support groups

Our support groups offer a safe and affirming space for individuals to share their experiences, connect with others, and receive emotional support, fostering a sense of community and belonging. These groups are facilitated by our Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
