About us

We are passionate about our work and compassionate toward our people, whether they work here or seek care from us. We opened the first AbsoluteCare center in Atlanta in 2000, with a primary focus on treating members with HIV/AIDS. We quickly became an HIV Center of Excellence, achieving impressive results: an 88 percent retention rate and a 97 percent undetectable rate. A surprising thing happened. With so many of them free of the symptoms of HIV/AIDS, our members sought primary care from us. They were coming in for help controlling asthma, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and all the other conditions that life and aging had thrown their way. So we transformed. We assembled a larger team of qualified, passionate practitioners to offer whole-life care in a new, larger center. And in the last two decades, we have expanded our facilities to multiple locations in several states, where we offer our members everything from primary care to nutrition counseling, behavioral health, and life services. The members who set foot in an AbsoluteCare center are usually underserved. With their health already compromised, life’s daily stressors add to their level of need.

    Each year on December 1, we acknowledge #WorldAIDSDay. World AIDS Day, observed around the globe, is a day to celebrate our progress and wins in the HIV epidemic, to honor and reflect on our loss, and to recommit to work that remains to be done.     AbsoluteCare has made incredible advances in ensuring our primary engaged members know their HIV status. Across all centers, 6 out of 10 primary care members have had an HIV test this year. This World AIDS Day, let’s embrace every HIV test result as an opportunity for meaningful dialogue and support within our community, fostering a brighter future for HIV health together. #beyondmedicine #StopHIVTogether
