Nexus: Expanding Treatment Options Since 2016
Nexus is a growing program that began in 2016 in partnership with Infectious Diseases Physicians (IDP), a single-specialty practice dedicated to the treatment of individuals with HIV infection in Northern Virginia. Since 2016 two additional Infection Disease practices have signed formal agreements to participate in the Nexus program and the Nexus customer population has increased from 32 to more than 100 clients. We will continue to work on expanding our network of providers.
