About the Department

The Chicago Center of HIV Elimination, embedded within the University of Chicago\'s main campus in Hyde Park, is located in Chicago\'s HIV epicenter.

This area includes 4 of the 6 communities with the highest annual diagnosis rates in the city (Washington Park, West Englewood, Greater Grand Crossing and South Shore).
