🕸️ Whether you're boo'd up or flying solo, knowing your status is a powerful move.
Get an HIV test for the ultimate peace of mind.
• The Unknown is the Scariest Part: Waiting and worrying is much worse than taking a quick, confidential test.
• Testing is Easy: It can be a simple finger-prick or mouth swab, and results are often fast.
• Treatment Works: If you test positive, modern HIV treatment (ART) is highly effective. People with HIV who take medicine as prescribed can live long, healthy lives and cannot transmit the virus to their partners.
Don't let the anxiety about an HIV test haunt you. Take control of your health!
Give the H line a call and find free and low cost testing near you.

Your health journey is yours to define. PrEP Aware Week (Oct 19–25) is about showing up, speaking out, and standing in your truth. Because HIV prevention should be expected, protected, and celebrated.

Lovinia “I want to revolutionize PrEP care by having these difficult conversations with young women who think PrEP is not an option for them.”

Growing up is hard enough without being targeted, harassed, called names, or physically harmed. But LGBTQ youth are experiencing bullying at every turn. According to the Trevor Project 2024 survey Nearly half (49%) of LGBTQ+ young people ages 13-17 experienced bullying in the past year, and those who did reported significantly higher rates attempting su***de in the past year than those who did not experience bullying. No one should be bullied or called names simply for being who they are. Support LGBTQ+ youth and stand against bullying. 💜 Go purple now if you’re against bullying!

Happy International Pronouns Day!
Today is all about celebrating and respecting people's personal pronouns. A simple way to be a good ally is to share your own and not assume the pronouns of others. Let's make every space, including our online ones, more inclusive.
Today and every day, let's normalize sharing our pronouns and asking others for theirs. What are your pronouns? Share below to normalize the practice!

Hoy se celebra el Día Nacional de Concientización sobre el SIDA para las Personas Latinas, una celebración inspiradora de la increíble resiliencia, fuerza y ​​unidad de las comunidades hispanas y latinas en la lucha continua contra el VIH/SIDA.

"¿Debería hacerme la prueba del VIH? ¡Sí!". Conocer tu estado es el primer paso esencial hacia la atención, la prevención y el empoderamiento personal.

¿Por qué es importante?

En el estado de Nueva York, las personas latinas representaron el 37 % de los nuevos casos de VIH en 2023. Desafortunadamente, las tasas de realización de pruebas y el acceso a la atención médica siguen siendo insuficientes, especialmente para las comunidades hispanohablantes e inmigrantes.

¿Cómo puedes marcar la diferencia hoy?

- ¡Hazte la prueba o motiva a un ser querido a dar ese paso!

- Comparte recursos valiosos e historias inspiradoras para combatir el estigma.

Juntos, podemos derribar barreras, fomentar la confianza y poner fin a la epidemia. ¡Actuemos!
