GMHC Opens HIV-Specialized Walgreens Pharmacy

Gay Men’s Health Crisis and Walgreens have collaborated to launch a new HIV-specialized pharmacy.

The new facility, which is located in GHMC’s David Geffen Center for HIV Prevention and Health Education on 29th Street in New York City, opened last October.

The pharmacy offers confidential care, medications, and consultations to visitors to GMHC, which annually serves 9,000 people affected by HIV. A pharmacist trained in HIV services will be available at the other GMHC office, on 33rd Street.

To date, Walgreens has equipped over 700 HIV-specialized pharmacies across the country with expert pharmacists and personalized counseling, though this is the first to actually reside inside an AIDS service organization.
