You deserve a real person on the other end.

Our Testing Hotline is staffed by someone from your community.
Someone who lives in LA. Someone who understands LGBTQIA s*xual health. Someone who will not judge you.

No bots. No scripts. No waiting days for a message back.

Ask about:
• HIV/STI testing
• PrEP and injectable PrEP
• DoxyPEP
• Symptoms
• Vaccines

Try doing that with an app.

February is Black History Month, and we’re proud to celebrate the brilliance, power, and resilience of Black q***r communities. In a world where Black stories are too often erased or misunderstood, this month is a reminder of why representation matters—and why we must lift these voices all year long.

From art to media, activism to everyday life, Black q***r people shape culture, drive change, and inspire joy. Those stories deserve to be seen, heard, and honored—not just this month, but 365 days a year.

This Black History Month, we celebrate our past, amplify our present, and keep building a future where Black q***r voices are never sidelined. We invite you to join us in amplifying these stories, sharing joy, and creating spaces where all Black q***r experiences can thrive.

Explore the stories and spaces we’re uplifting all year long—because visibility is power.
