For instance our mammography referral service for women uninsured and other basic physical check-ups.

HIV/AIDS PREVENTION AND TREATMENT GUIDE
Methods for HIV Prevention:
PrEP - PEP
BEFORE HIV EXPOSURE
PrEP
If you are HIV-negative and at high risk of exposure to HIV (sexual contact, sharing needlles, among others). PrEp is a medication that is taking daily to prevent HIV infection.
Disclosure: PrEP does not protect against STDs. It is ideal to undergo regular check-ups to make sure you are always healthy.
PEP
If you have had an accident or exposure to HIV infection PEP should be started as soon as possible to be effective - always within 72 hours of a possible exposure. If you are unsure, do not hesitate and take PEP.
UNDETECTABLE = UNTRANSMISSIBLE
YOU = Unafraid - YOU = Uplifted - YOU = Undefeated
I tested positive for HIV.
Take your medications correctly. If you have an undetectable viral load you have effectively no risk of transmitting HIV to your sexual partners. Having an undetectable viral load will allow you to live a life with your partner without the fear of passing on HIV.
