Inclusive care backed by clinical experience

Feeling respected matters, but respect alone is not enough. Patients also deserve a physician who understands the clinical details of LGBTQ+ health, sexual health, HIV prevention, medication access, screening, and the ways identity and life experience may affect care.

Care topics

Informed care for the LGBTQ+ community

Comprehensive primary care

Preventive care, acute concerns, chronic conditions, mental health, medication management, and care coordination. Care is tailored to the lives and needs of LGBTQ+ patients by a physician expert.

HIV prevention, Sexual and reproductive health

Evaluation for daily oral PrEP, injectable PrEP, event-driven PrEP when appropriate, routine monitoring, and support navigating medication access. Routine STI screening, symptom evaluation, treatment, site-specific testing when appropriate, and discussion of prevention options such as doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis when clinically appropriate.

HIV treatment

Ongoing HIV treatment integrated with primary care, preventive health, screening, medication management, and coordination with specialists when needed.

Gender-affirming and identity-informed care

Respectful primary care that considers anatomy, medications, identity, preventive needs, and individual goals without making assumptions. Informed consent gender-affirming hormone treatment is offered to adult patients when appropriate.

Long-acting injection options available

Freedom from the daily pill.

Whether you're taking PrEP to prevent HIV or receiving treatment for HIV, long-acting injectable medications may offer a more convenient option. As an HIV Specialist (AAHIVS), Dr. Venis helps patients compare every option—including daily pills and injectable therapies—to find the approach that best fits their life, not just their lab results.

How this approach is different

You are more than one diagnosis or identity

HIV care, PrEP, sexual health, mental health, metabolic health, and routine prevention should not be separated from the rest of your care. INcircle Health brings these needs together within one ongoing primary care relationship.
