Local help in Northern Virginia

Part of Virginia.Virginia document routeCare rules in Virginia

Northern Virginia has several trans-affirming primary care and hormone prescribers, free HIV/STI testing, and peer support groups, and many residents also use Whitman-Walker Health just across the river in DC for hormones and free name-change legal help. You file a name change in the circuit court of the county or city where you live: Fairfax, Arlington, and Alexandria each have their own court.

Covers: Arlington County, Fairfax County, the City of Alexandria, and nearby Northern Virginia localities (Prince William County, Falls Church, Fairfax City)

Draft list from organizations' own websites, 2026-09-24. Call ahead: hours and services change.
