That’s why Prisma created the Find Your Fit Pack, a no-cost way to try different sizes and styles so you can discover what works best for you.

It’s Sexual Health Day and the start of Sexual Health Month.
At Prisma Community Care, we believe that good sexual health is good health...period. It shapes not only the well-being of individuals, couples, and families, but also the strength and resilience of our community as a whole.

Sexual health isn’t just a part of reproductive health. It’s about your right to be safe, informed, and empowered in every aspect of your sexuality and well-being. This month, we'll be sharing resources to support your journey to good health.

👉 Get started today by making your sexual health a priority: schedule an HIV/STI test, ask about PrEP, or connect with our affirming care team.
