About this clinic

The Infectious Diseases Clinic at St. Paul’s Hospital cares for patients with infectious diseases.

Pathogens like viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and prions cause infectious diseases. They can spread from one person to another. They can also spread through contaminated food or bug bites.

Infectious diseases treated at this clinic:

• Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infection
• COVID-19
• Human immunodeficiency virus & acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS)
• Influenza (flu)
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• Tuberculosis
• Hepatitis B or C
• Human papillomavirus (HPV)
• Fungal infections

If you have HIV/AIDS, you can get more comprehensive care at the John Ruedy Clinic, located next door. The John Ruedy Clinic provides care for people who do not have a family doctor with wrap around services.

Advances in treatments are all thanks to medical research. While participating in research is a decision you should make for yourself in consultation with your care team, there is much activity in this area so please ask us about our research programs if you’re interested.

By taking part in research, you can help us all learn more about advancing health outcomes and find better ways to help people live and thrive. While you cannot assume benefit to yourself, your participation can make a difference in improving care for future patients.

The following clinical trials are currently enrolling volunteers. Please ask your care team for more information or contact the research team listed on each study or trial. For other information about research at Providence Health Care, please visit Providence Research.

Areas we are currently researching include: 

• HIV and Hepatitis C co-infection
