Todos sabemos que pueden ocurrir accidentes y eventos inesperados: puedes usar un condón solo para que se rompa, o tal vez no usaste uno durante el encuentro y no estás tomando PrEP. Es importante tener un plan de antemano, pero si ese no es el caso, ¡todavía tienes algunas opciones! Recuerda que la PEP puede ayudar si tu encuentro tuvo lugar dentro de las 72 horas, asegúrate de realizar un seguimiento con pruebas de VIH e ITS y considera hablar con tu proveedor sobre la PrEP. ¡Tienes esto bajo control!

Here are some tips for making safe choices about s*x:
• Be informed. Learn about the chances of pregnancy and STIs, and how to prevent them. You can always reach out to us we’ve got your back!
• Talk to your partner. Make sure you're both on the same page about what you want out of a s*xual relationship. Discuss your expectations and boundaries, and be honest about your feelings.
• Use protection. Condoms are the best way to prevent pregnancy and STIs. Make sure you use them correctly every time you have s*x.
• Respect yourself. If you're not comfortable with something, don't do it. You have the right to say no.
Remember, making safe choices about s*x is about more than just preventing pregnancy and STIs. It's also about respecting yourself and your partner. If you're not sure what to do, it's always a good idea to talk to a trusted adult.

Los condones internos son otra gran opción para tener relaciones s*xuales más seguras. Tal como su nombre lo dice, el condón se usa internamente, ya sea dentro de la va**na o el ano durante las relaciones s*xuales. Viene con dos anillos, uno de los cuales debe insertarse en la va**na o el ano, y el otro sobra sobre la abertura para que tenga lugar el s*xo. Viene con dos anillos, uno de los cuales debe insertarse en la va**na o el ano, y el otro sobrante sobre la abertura antes del s*xo. Puede tomar algo de práctica para usar y sentirse un poco diferente, pero probar una nueva herramienta de s*xo seguro como el condón interno también puede ser divertido y darte la tranquilidad de saber que se estás protegiéndote a tí mismo y a tu pareja.

Let’s clear up some information on when PEP is needed! PEP is for high chance encounters and is effective if taken within 72 hours. Giving or receiving a hand job doesn’t come with a chance of HIV transmission, and engaging in oral s*x has an extremely low possibility! If you’ve engaged in condomless a**l or va**nal s*x with someone of unknown status, or have shared needles or injection drug equipment then PEP is definitely an option!

📢 Today is Zero HIV Stigma Day! Let's stand together to shatter the prejudice and discrimination surrounding HIV. Stigma doesn't just hurt individuals; it hinders prevention efforts and access to vital care.

It's time for a world where everyone living with HIV can do so with dignity and without fear of judgment.

Today marks International Non-Binary People's Day, a significant occasion dedicated to recognizing, supporting, and celebrating individuals whose gender identities extend beyond the traditional categories of "man" or "woman."

It's important to understand the realities faced by non-binary people:

Prevalence: In the U.S. alone, over 1.2 million adults identify as non-binary.

Discrimination: Non-binary individuals frequently encounter higher rates of discrimination across various sectors, including healthcare, housing, and employment. This often translates to increased barriers in accessing vital services like HIV prevention and care.

Validity: Being non-binary is not a new phenomenon, a trend, or a phase. It is a valid and real identity that warrants full visibility and respect.

Let's collectively commit to challenging gender norms, celebrating authentic self-expression, and fostering a world where every individual can flourish, regardless of their gender identity.

07/10/2025

July marks a powerful celebration of identity, visibility, and resilience. Disability Pride Month honors the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in July 1990—a landmark civil rights law that affirmed the rights and dignity of millions.
💬 What does Disability Pride mean?
• It means embracing disability as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity.
• It challenges outdated stigmas and amplifies voices that have long been sidelined.
• It’s a movement that celebrates self-acceptance, advocacy, and the strength of community.
Whether you live with a disability, love someone who does, or simply believe in equity and compassion—this month is for reflection, education, and celebration.
“Disability pride is about accepting and honoring each person’s uniqueness… It’s about seeing disability as a positive identity.” — National Disability Institute

Summertime sadness isn’t just the name of a popular song. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) can take place during these warmer months as well as the colder ones. Summertime brings longer days, hot and humid weather, and can cause some to be more conscious of their body and looks. Some people may lose their appetite, experience sleeplessness, anxiety, and just feel down overall. It’s always important to take time for yourself, your mental health, and how you’re feeling. And if you are ever feeling out of sorts, it’s always OK to speak out and ask for help! We're here for you NY!
