Our Services
Ryan White HIV Clinic
Serving Northeast Pennsylvania for more than 20 years, The Wright Center’s Ryan White HIV Clinic offers comprehensive services – including prevention, testing, and treatment – for people living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS.
Conveniently located in Scranton inside our primary care community health center, our Ryan White HIV Clinic continues to improve lives across the region.
We provide confidential testing services and continuous, coordinated medical care for patients diagnosed with HIV. Thanks to monumental advances in anti-retroviral (ATV) therapy and the dedication and support of our experienced providers and compassionate staff, the majority of the more than 500 patients we serve have achieved undetectable viral rates, allowing them to live long, healthy, and happy lives.
Our care teams offer a holistic, empowering approach to HIV care. In addition to ATV therapy and treatment, The Wright Center’s Ryan White HIV Clinic provides comprehensive medical services – including primary care, dental, behavioral health, and recovery services – as well as essential support services and case management, regardless of a patient’s insurance status or ability to pay.

HIV Testing & Prevention
Sexual health is not one size fits all. Our clinicians will meet with you and complete sexual health screenings in a judgment-free space. Based on your screening, our clinicians will complete a risk assessment and provide individualized prevention counseling for your situation.
Our HIV Risk Reduction Efforts include:
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Services
Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is an HIV prevention method in which HIV-negative people take a daily pill to reduce their risk of becoming infected. When used consistently, PrEP has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV-1 infection among adult men and women at very high risk for HIV infection.
Condom Distribution
Clients seen for testing or patients of the PrEP clinic are eligible to receive free condoms.
HIV Testing
Free, confidential HIV tests available.
Partner Services
With consent, positive test results can be discussed with partners confidentially and discreetly.
