Protection Isn’t Just Condoms!
PrEP, PEP & Doxy PEP: 101

Did you know there are multiple ways to protect yourself beyond condoms? 💊 Whether it’s PrEP, PEP, or Doxy PEP, knowing your options puts you in control of your s*xual health.

PrEP – Take it before exposure to prevent HIV. Daily pills or injections every 2–6 months keep you protected.
PEP – Take it after potential HIV exposure within 72 hours. 28 days of daily pills can stop HIV before it starts.
Doxy PEP – Take it after STI exposure within 72 hours. Two pills can reduce your risk of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.

At RPSSI Nassau, we’ve got you covered.
We offer free HIV, Hep-C, and STI testing, and connect you with providers for PrEP or PEP if needed.

The Silent Barrier: Culture & Your Sexual Health
In many communities, the biggest obstacle to good s*xual health isn’t access, it’s silence. And that silence can have serious consequences.

When cultural stigma makes s*x and STIs taboo, important conversations never happen. That leads to an education gap, where people miss out on critical information about prevention, symptoms, and where to get tested.

Fear of judgment or shame can also lead to testing avoidance, causing infections to go undetected and untreated for longer putting both individuals and communities at greater risk.

Breaking these barriers starts with open conversations, accurate information, and access to supportive, judgment-free care. Your health is worth talking about.

At , we can help with conversation starters and provide free HIV, Hep-C, and STI testing in a confidential, respectful environment. We can also connect you with providers if you’re interested in starting PrEP or need to be linked with PEP after an exposure.

Undertested & Underserved
International Le***an Visibility Day

Sexual health is for everyone regardless of gender identity or s*xual orientation. 💜 Did you know that women who have s*x with women (WSW) are often under-tested and under-served?

STIs like Herpes, HPV, and bacterial infections can be transmitted between WSW. HIV is less common, but still possible through shared s*x toys or fluid exposure. Yet research shows many WSW aren’t regularly screened, partly due to provider assumptions and lack of awareness. Your health deserves accurate care and attention!

At RPSSI Nassau, we’ve got your back.
We offer free HIV, Hep-C, and STI testing, and can connect you with providers for PrEP or PEP if needed.

Swiping right might lead to a great connection but it can also increase your risk, if you’re not thinking about your s*xual health along the way.

Did You Know Your Throat Can Contract STIs Too?
It’s not something most people think about but HPV and other STIs don’t just affect one part of the body. Oral health is s*xual health, and awareness can make all the difference.

Here’s what you need to know:
🔍 Silent threat: HPV-related throat cancers often show no symptoms in early stages, making them harder to detect without regular check-ups.
📊 HPV is common: Most s*xually active people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their lives.
🛡 Prioritize prevention: The HPV vaccine, safer s*x practices, and routine dental and medical visits are key steps in protecting your long-term health.

Understanding these risks empowers you to take action early and stay in control of your health.

At rpssi_nassau we offer free HIV, Hep-C, and STI testing, and we’ll help connect you with a provider if you’re interested in starting PrEP or need to be linked with PEP after an exposure.

HIV Disparities in Transgender Communities
National Transgender HIV Testing Day

The reality is clear: transgender communities continue to face some of the highest HIV disparities in the U.S. not because of individual choices, but because of stigma, discrimination, and limited access to affirming healthcare.

Nearly 1 million people in the U.S. identify as transgender, and transgender women especially Black and Latina trans women experience some of the highest HIV prevalence rates nationwide. These disparities highlight why awareness, testing, and access to care matter more than ever.

Knowing your HIV status is powerful. Testing helps you take control of your health, protect your partners, and access treatment or prevention options like PrEP or PEP as early as possible.

At RPSSI Nassau, we’re here for you.
We offer free HIV, Hep-C, and STI testing, and we’ll help connect you with a provider if you’re interested in starting PrEP or need PEP after an exposure.
