This year's theme focuses on encouraging Hispanics and Latinos to get tested for HIV. This powerful call to action urges individuals to take charge of their health by making testing easy and accessible. We provide free or low-cost HIV testing. Just reach out to us to set up an appointment or visit us during our walk-in days.

Let's break it down:

▪ PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis): Think of PrEP as a proactive shield. It's a daily pill or an injection that helps prevent HIV before exposure.
▪ PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis): PEP is your emergency backup. It's a treatment you start within 72 hours after possible exposure to HIV and take for 28 days to reduce the risk of infection.

Whether you're planning ahead with PrEP or need PEP right away, we're here to help you.

Take a walk. Get enough sleep. Call a friend. Schedule that appointment you've been putting off.

You don't have to change everything at once. Sometimes, taking one small step toward better health is a great place to start.

Your mental health matters. Taking care of your mental health is an important part of your overall health.

If you’re struggling, you don’t have to face it alone. It’s okay to ask for help, talk to someone you trust, and reach out for support.

We need to continue to create a community where talking about mental health is welcomed, supported, and free from stigma. 💚
