Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012; phone options include 844-804-0055. Note on user query: - If you are seeking Positive Care/HIV-specific information in Watts (a neighborhood in LA), DHS operates countywide HIV/AIDS and primary care services through its network, but this page does not provide Watts-specific program details. For targeted HIV-positive care in Watts, I recommend contacting DHS directly or checking their online care and patient services sections for HIV/AIDS programs, enrollment help, and Watts-area clinic availability.
