The programs of the Division are located in Paterson, Orange, East Orange and Newark. A mobile van accesses teens in playgrounds and on the streets using peer counselors who provide information about HIV and programs of the Division. The division provides ambulatory, in-patient and laboratory services to diagnose and treat acute and chronic infectious diseases as well as pulmonary diseases and allergies. The Division's active research program studying the transmission of HIV is well recognized throughout the world. The FXB also provides instruction throughout the world to caregivers of HIV infected children and the International HIV Resource Center provides educational programs, resources and instructional materials to health care professionals caring for HIV infected children.
Emphasis is placed on maintaining a consistent patient-physician relationship.
