Did you know? Women are less likely to be screened/tested for HIV in part due to the perception that they are not at risk. Women of all ages, races, and ethnicities can get HIV. Getting tested and knowing your status is the first step to taking control of your health. https://positiveresourceconnection.org/hiv-testing/

Thank you, AVI Foodsystems and Van Wert Moose Lodge #1320 for making possible an additional day of Street Outreach in downtown Fort Wayne!

Your healthy snack and sandwich donations helped us create nutritious sack lunches that were distributed to community members experiencing homelessness and food scarcity. Combined with PRC's own free community resources, like hats, gloves, socks, ponchos, blankets, toothbrushes and paste, chapstick, condoms and more, we were able to make connections and offer free HIV and Hepatitis C testing to 46 individuals within the lunch hour! Our team returns weekly to continue care, testing and offering free resources, strengthening our community for all. 💙🧡

Not only are they protecting themselves with HIV treatment, being undetectable means there's effectively no risk of transmitting HIV to others through s*x. AMAZING!!! 🙌🏿https://positiveresourceconnection.org/treatment-as-prevention/

Racism and discrimination greatly affect healthcare within Black communities, particularly in the context of HIV. Structural inequities, stigma, and bias can hinder access to quality healthcare services. That is why education and community matter.
