Arkansas RAPPS joins our colleagues at The National Coalition for LGBTQ Health in their announcement of this year’s theme for National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week, March 16 – 20, 2026, as “Organize to OUTlast.”
The theme calls on the LGBTQ community and those who provide healthcare for LGBTQ communities to organize for LGBTQ health against regressive forces in policy and culture.
We fully embrace this call to action to increase healthcare that is "patient centric," stigma and judgement free, and urging our community to "Stay Ready," with access to Prep as a prevention tool to decrease new HIV acquisitions.
All this week we will offer access to free Self-HIV test kits, Stay Ready Safer S*x Kits, and Prep Navigation services at the Living Room Wellness Resource Center. For more info reach out to Mictrelle at mictrelle@arraps.org.
