Misinformation creates fear. Facts create safety.

Knowing how HIV is actually transmitted helps people protect themselves, look out for each other, and stop the spread of stigma.

Doxy PEP is a tool some people use after s*x to
help reduce the risk of certain bacterial STIs, like chlamydia and syphilis.

It works best when taken as soon as possible, and it’s important to talk with a healthcare provider before use.

Remember: Doxy PEP is an extra layer of protection, not a replacement for regular STI testing and routine care

-----------------------------------------------------

Doxy PEP es una herramienta que algunas personas utilizan después de la relación s*xual para reducir el riesgo de ciertas ITS bacterianas, como la clamidia y la sífilis.

Funciona mejor cuando se toma lo antes posible y es importante consultar con un
profesional de la salud antes de usarlo.

Recuerda: Doxy PEP es una capa adicional de protección, no un sustituto de los exámenes de ITS ni del
cuidado médico rutinario

BREAK THE STIGMA by standing with truth, science, and compassion. U = U reminds us that when a person living with HIV is on treatment and reaches an undetectable viral load, they cannot transmit the virus to their s*xual partners. This is not just a medical fact, it’s a message of hope, empowerment, and dignity for everyone living with HIV.

Stigma only survives when misinformation spreads. But together, we break that cycle. We build a community where people feel safe, respected, and supported.
If you want to learn more about your status, take control of your health, or simply get peace of mind, we’re here for you.

~Remembering Diana, Princess of Wales~

Princess Diana used her platform to confront one of the harsh stigmas of her time. She didn’t just speak about compassion, she embodied it. Her courage showed the world that HIV stigma hurts more than the virus itself, and that respect, touch, and dignity are powerful tools for change. Her bravery wasn’t about grand gestures; it was about reminding the world that humanity should always come first.

Her bravery continues to ripple through public health, advocacy, and the lives of people living with HIV today.
Honored to carry forward even a small piece of the humanity she brought into the conversation. ❤️🧬
