Erie’s Lending Hands for Life (LHL) program
Since 1989, Erie’s Lending Hands for Life (LHL) program has been working to help those living with HIV/AIDS or at risk for HIV transmission. As part of LHL, our patients learn to live healthy lives and reduce the number of transmissions in Chicago.
We offer a wide range of services — from medical care to emotional support — for individuals who are living with HIV or at risk for HIV transmission. A team of community health workers, case managers, and providers are here to make sure you receive the highest quality care for living your healthiest life.

- We also have PrEP services at all of our Erie locations. When taken as directed, PrEP is a medication that reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by more than 99%.
At Erie Family Health Centers, we believe healthcare is a human right. Erie offers high-quality healthcare regardless of a person’s ability to pay, insurance or immigration status, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
