All About "ACAP" (AIDS Care Access Project)

July 14, 2003

ACAP connects persons living with HIV/AIDS to:

  • experienced doctors
  • dental care
  • health insurance options

Which Doctors Are Available?

Among the many excellent doctors in King County who treat HIV/AIDS, you can request:

  • a male or female doctor
  • a doctor with a practice near your home or office
  • a doctor who charges lower fees
  • a private doctor or community clinic

What Dental Care Is Available?

It is best to see the dentist before you have an emergency because most coverage emphasizes preventative care. Basic dental care can be covered through:

  • Ryan White (call us to find out if you are eligible)
  • Private dental insurance
