➡️Today is World Condom Day — a global reminder that prevention, education, and open conversations protect community health.
➡️Meet Loree, Prevention Coordinator at Piedmont Care, who has spent 10 years helping make sexual health conversations approachable and stigma-free.
When asked what she loves about her work, Loree shared:
“I love what I do. People shy away from these conversations, and anything I can do to make people comfortable so they can access resources improves their health — and improves community health overall.”
➡️Piedmont Care provides FREE HIV testing with same-day results, counseling, prevention education, and condom distribution to support our community. Loree even created fun resource gift bags to make prevention feel welcoming and accessible.
➡️Why this matters: Spartanburg reported 941 HIV/AIDS cases in 2022. Across the South, new HIV diagnoses remain high, and an estimated 13% of people living with HIV don’t know they have the virus.
Thank you, Loree, for helping break stigma, expand access, and strengthen community health.
