Rapid Screening Services
Coastal Horizons offers Rapid Screening Services for HIV, Hepatitis C, and Syphilis in Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender Counties. These services are confidential and quick and can help decrease the prevalence of communicable diseases. All positive screenings are followed up with confirmatory tests, consultation, and referrals. For those living with HIV, our "Positive Imagez" support group has been effective for over 25 years. This group meets weekly to discuss trends in HIV medication and opportunities for those living positive and provide peer support.

Safe Syringe Program
Safe Syringe Program (SSP) locations are available in Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender Counties. These services remove barriers for those considering treatment. At the participants' request, we provide clean supplies to increase community health and decrease communicable diseases. Participants are also offered HIV and HCV testing and can discuss any health or other issues with a team member at that time. SSP Services are available Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
