Small Businesses, Big Impact. 💼❤️

We’re calling on local, and community-minded businesses to help us keep our mission alive. MASS lost a lot of government funding this year—but we’re not backing down. We’re building something better: a community-funded future.

Here’s how you can help:
✨ Pick one day to donate a percentage of your sales to MASS
✨ Host a MASS donation jar or round-up campaign
✨ Collaborate on a pop-up, event, or class
✨ Let’s tell your customers you're a business that gives back

Your business can directly help fund HIV testing, harm reduction, and support services for the people who need it most.

🔗 Ready to partner with purpose? DM us or email admin@massva.org.

Let’s show what real community care looks like—together.

Let’s be real—too many people use s*x work as a joke or insult.
But for many in our community, it's survival.
It’s work.
It’s real.

At MASS, we create space that honors everyone’s reality.
Come as you are.
Get tested.
Get free supplies.
Get support.

No shame. Just care.

Looking for a new way to protect yourself from HIV?

Let’s talk about injectable PrEP (CAB) — a powerful option for people who don’t have HIV but are at risk through s*x or injection drug use.

Instead of taking a daily pill, CAB lets you stay protected with just one shot every two months. It’s a great fit if:

You have trouble remembering to take pills

You’d rather get a shot than take meds daily

You have kidney issues that make oral PrEP unsafe

Injectable PrEP is approved for adults and teens (77 lbs or more) and is proven to be highly effective at preventing HIV.

Want to know if CAB is right for you? MASS is here to answer questions and help you protect your health — your way.

Call us or stop by our clinic to learn more about your options.
