Services are offered by appointment. Counseling options are available. We can put people in touch with other local resources like AIDS Response Seacoast.
PrEP Treatment
PrEP, or Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis is a medication a person at high risk for HIV takes to prevent being infected with HIV. The medication is taken everyday while your care is supervised by one of our health providers. Our trained and experienced staff will review whether this treatment is appropriate for you. We offer both Truvada and Descovy. Services are offered by appointment.
