On Caribbean American HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, we stand with Caribbean-American communities in the fight against HIV.

This day reminds us of the importance of health education, access to resources, and community involvement. While we've seen progress in reducing new infections and AIDS-related deaths, key populations in the Caribbean continue to face disproportionate impact — and funding uncertainties threaten the prevention services they depend on.

We must continue to advocate, educate, and support one another. Health equity for all communities is non-negotiable.

45 years…
We continue the movement; supporting those living with HIV, honoring those lost to the epidemic, and being a resource for allies and loved ones.

Today we mark 45 years of the HIV movement built upon resistance and a fight for equity. Needing equitable access and systems that prioritize HIV prevention, care, and whole health support for communities of color.

"Hepatitis C has a cure. Yet the blood-borne virus causes hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths around the world every year, and structural barriers in the health care system prevent the most at-risk population—people who inject drugs—from accessing testing and treatment."

We are still testing through COMPASS with treatment starting same-day! Call our COMPASS staff to see if you qualify for this free testing & treatment study with incentives for milestones met throughout the process: 203-980-1547

La hepatitis C tiene cura. Sin embargo, este virus de transmisión sanguínea causa cientos de miles de muertes prevenibles en todo el mundo cada año, y las barreras estructurales del sistema de salud impiden que la población de mayor riesgo —las personas que se inyectan drogas— acceda a las pruebas y al tratamiento.

¡Seguimos realizando pruebas a través del programa COMPASS, con inicio del tratamiento el mismo día! Llame a nuestro personal de COMPASS para averiguar si reúne los requisitos para participar en este estudio gratuito de pruebas y tratamiento, el cual ofrece incentivos por cada hito alcanzado a lo largo del proceso: 203-980-1547

"Gen yon gerizon pou epatit C. Men, viris ki transmèt nan san an lakòz plizyè santèn milye lanmò ki te ka evite atravè lemond chak ane, epi baryè estriktirèl nan sistèm swen sante a anpeche popilasyon ki pi an risk la—moun ki enjekte dwòg—jwenn aksè a tès ak tretman."

Nou toujou ap fè tès atravè COMPASS epi tretman an ap kòmanse menm jou a! Rele anplwaye COMPASS nou yo pou wè si ou kalifye pou etid tès ak tretman gratis sa a ak ankourajman pou etap enpòtan yo atenn pandan tout pwosesis la: 203-980-1547

An important message about Men's Mental Health from some of our team.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, but we know symptoms, their severity, stigma, and access to care can change monthly, daily, even hourly. We can help you navigate these without judgement, many of us having lived experience with mental health ourselves.

We encourage you to explore NAMI Connecticut & NAMI and follow them for insights that may help you, your loved ones, and those in your community.

Un mensaje importante sobre la salud mental de los hombres, de parte de algunos miembros de nuestro equipo.

Mayo es el Mes de Concientización sobre la Salud Mental; sin embargo, sabemos que los síntomas, su gravedad, el estigma y el acceso a la atención pueden variar mes a mes, día a día e incluso hora a hora. Podemos ayudarle a navegar por estas situaciones sin emitir juicios, ya que muchos de nosotros contamos con experiencia vivida en materia de salud mental.

Le invitamos a explorar los recursos de NAMI Connecticut y NAMI, y a seguirlos para obtener información valiosa que podría ser de ayuda para usted, sus seres queridos y las personas de su comunidad.
