Comprehensive HIV Medical Care

Uptown Physicians Group has been treating HIV and AIDS since the early 1980s before it even had a name. We are all certified as HIV Specialists^TM by the American Academy of HIV Medicine. With the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy, HIV has been transformed from a death sentence to a chronic, manageable illness similar to high blood pressure or diabetes. As the incidence of problems related to HIV has plummeted with the new drugs we have available today, the incidence of heart disease and cancer has increased, which is why it is important to find a doctor who not only treats your HIV but is concerned about monitoring your overall health and well being.

STI Testing & Treatment

Did you know syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea are quite easily transmitted by oral sex? We offer in-office STI testing and treatment for all sexually transmitted infections in a comfortable, discreet environment. Rapid HIV testing with results in 10 minutes is also available.

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV)

Are you considering PrEP? It is a way to decrease your risk of acquiring HIV by taking a pill once a day. Patients do have to be monitored closely while taking this medication; it should be taken daily, and safe sex practices should still be followed as it does not protect against other STIs. We can discuss the pros and cons and help you decide if PrEP is right for you.

General Primary Care

We offer general primary medical care to the entire Dallas community. We can help with the treatment of your high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and other general medical issues.

We offer general physicals to help you find ways to reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer over time. We also concentrate on making sure you’re up to date on all your immunizations to keep you healthy. If you’re just under the weather with allergies or a sinus infection, we can help with that, too.

Comprehensive LGBTQIA+ Medical Care

At Uptown Physicians Group, we provide comprehensive healthcare services, including STI testing, HIV medical care, and general primary care, with a welcoming and inclusive approach tailored to the unique needs of the LGBTQIA+ community. LGBTQIA+ patients should have healthcare providers with whom they feel comfortable sharing all aspects of their life. Our physicians are active in the community, serving on various LGBTQIA+ nonprofit boards, and our organization sponsors various community events throughout the year.
