PrEP Support and Services
PrEP is a medicine that can help prevent HIV. Our PrEP Coordinator can help you learn about PrEP, decide if it may be right for you, and connect you with care.
We can help with:
- One-on-one information about PrEP
- Finding a PrEP provider and making an appointment
- Finding programs that may help cover the cost of the medication
- Ongoing support to help you stay on PrEP

Mobile Outreach Services
Our mobile outreach unit brings testing, education, and other services directly into the community. We visit neighborhoods, community events, and other locations throughout the area.
By bringing services into the community, we can help reduce barriers like transportation and make care easier to access.
Linkage to Care and Support
If your test result needs follow-up, our team will help connect you with medical care and other support services. You will not have to figure out the next steps alone. Our team is here to provide guidance and help you connect with the care you need.
