To Prevent HIV:
Use Condoms
Condoms are physical barriers that can reduce the risk of a sexual exposure to HIV because they are made of materials that do not allow HIV to pass through them.
Get Tested
Just by getting tested you can protect yourself and your loved ones from contracting HIV. Knowledge is power. Its quick, easy and free with us. Book your confidential appointment with us.
Take PrEP
