Sexual Health Clinic

We offer free preventive supplies, including male and female condoms and lubricants, to ensure that every participant can fully enjoy their sexuality. We provide guidance on the proper use of condoms and other preventive supplies to ensure that, in addition to pleasure, participants can prevent STIs, HIV, and unplanned pregnancies.

What is PrEP?

The term “prophylaxis” refers to the prevention or control of the transmission of an infection or disease; and “pre” means prior to or before. Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a medication used by people at risk of contracting HIV through unprotected sex or injection drug use to prevent HIV.

Initially, some people experience side effects such as an upset stomach, loss of appetite, or a headache. These symptoms are usually mild and go away within the first month of treatment.

When used consistently, PrEP reduces the risk of contracting the virus by up to 99%. People who use PrEP must commit to taking the medication consistently and seeing their doctor regularly for follow-up visits. PrEP does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections, so it is recommended to use condoms or other prevention methods consistently during every sexual encounter.

Currently, most health insurance plans cover PrEP; however, if you don’t have health insurance, or if your plan doesn’t cover it, there are patient assistance programs that can help you. Eligibility may vary depending on each person’s individual circumstances and is subject to certain requirements and restrictions.
