The National Clinician Consultation Center (NCCC) provides clinicians of all experience levels with prompt, expert responses to questions about managing HIV/AIDS, perinatal HIV, pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP and PEP), bloodborne pathogen exposures, and substance use disorders. Providers can contact the NCCC by phone or online to immediately receive tailored, case-based clinical guidance from our team of experienced physicians, advanced practice nurses, and clinical pharmacists. All of our services are cost-free and confidential. Our services are for U.S.-based healthcare providers only.

Our staff clinicians are practicing physicians, nurses, and pharmacists

A committed team of practicing clinicians from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and around the country provide our consultation services. The NCCC is a part of UCSF’s Department of Family and Community Medicine at San Francisco General Hospital — institutions that have been leaders in providing HIV/AIDS services since the early stages of the epidemic.

We have more than 30 years of expertise in consulting on HIV/AIDS care

Since 1993, the NCCC has supported primary care doctors, nurse practitioners, OB/GYNs, infectious disease specialists, RNs, LVNs, physician assistants, and more through direct consultation from leading clinicians and through provision of up-to-date knowledge on HIV care. We’ve seen great improvements as care has evolved, and we’ve worked to continually adapt to the treatment and knowledge needs of our community.
