Philly dental clinic shuts down as health officials urge HIV, hepatitis testing

Philadelphia health officials warned patients of Smiles at Rittenhouse Square about potential HIV and hepatitis exposure from April 2025 through May 2026 after an unannounced inspection found unsanitary practices. The clinic is closed and the sole dentist’s license was suspended for public‑health safety concerns. Officials say the risk is likely low, but a list of potentially exposed patients could be hundreds; those seen in the period should get tested, with a hotline (215-685-5488) established and guidance on testing. Hepatitis B vaccination offers protection, but there are no vaccines for HIV or hepatitis C; testing may require multiple blood draws to establish baselines and follow up. A second clinic with a similar name in the same building is not under investigation.

Progressive Rabb edges out establishment in Philly’s 3rd District primary

State Rep. Chris Rabb won Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District Democratic primary in Philadelphia with about 45% of the vote, defeating establishment favorite Sharif Street and buoyed by endorsements from the Squad and local progressive groups, plus a strong grassroots effort. Rabb is set to replace Dwight Evans in January, and his platform—advancing health care, immigration reform, and a call for ending U.S. aid to Israel amid Gaza war debates—signals a potential shift in Democratic leadership toward the left.

Progressives press for a landmark win in Philadelphia's bluest district

Progressives are attempting to win Pennsylvania’s 3rd District in a three‑way Philadelphia race to replace retiring Rep. Dwight Evans, with Chris Rabb backed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other progressives while Ala Stanford and Sharif Street lead the establishment and local support. Endorsements flow from national figures and groups, but the race also centers on Israel/Gaza policy, highlighting tensions within the party as voters focus on local economic and quality‑of‑life issues. The outcome could cement a progressive foothold in Pennsylvania politics.

Philadelphia PA-3 Primary Tests How Far Progressives Will Push

In Philadelphia’s PA-3, four Democrats—Chris Rabb, Sharif Street, Ala Stanford, and Shaun Griffith—seek the party’s nomination in a left-leaning district with no incumbent. The race highlights tensions between establishment-backed candidates and bold progressive outsiders, with endorsements split among AOC/Omar/Van Hollen (Rabb), local party machinery (Street), and Evans’ endorsement of Stanford. Polls show a volatile three-way contest, making turnout crucial as the winner is expected to prevail in November in a district with no Republican challenger. The contest serves as a barometer for how far the Democratic Party’s progressivism can stretch in a swing-state stronghold.
