The purpose of our HIV Clinic is to aggressively confront the Human Immunodeficiency Virus with early intervention using primary medical services and compassion. When AIDS was recognized in the early 1980's as being a sexually transmitted disease, the Board of Directors of Open Door Clinic ( ODC ) felt it was important for the STD Clinic to extend its diagnostic, treatment and prevention services to include HIV/AIDS. ODC was one of the first HIV Antibody testing sites in the State of Illinois, a service still offered today. In 1988, ODC became the first Illinois testing site to offer one-week results and can now provide results within a few days. The Clinic also offers the antigen test, which reduces the window period. In January 1993, we initiated a pilot project of a broad spectrum "early intervention" HIV Clinic ( hereafter named HIV Clinic ). Most significantly, we have been able to offer our clients the assurance that the clinic, its services and staff remain available throughout the illness.
