bethegeneration is The Center's comprehensive Sexual Health & Wellness program that ensures individuals are empowered to take charge of their sexual health.

In 2014, The San Diego LGBT Community Center launched the groundbreaking campaign as an aggressive and strategic effort to end new HI V transmissions in San Diego. Based on findings from both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization, reports showed that use of PrEP and PEP medications could decrease a person’s HIV risk by up to 99 percent. The campaign was prompted by that medical evidence
and offered a much-needed new opportunity to stop HIV as an epidemic with a bold new campaign. Today, has morphed into an entire program at The Center that focuses on Sexual Health and Wellness for the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.

( ) is The Center’s comprehensive Sexual Health & Wellness Program that ensures individuals are empowered to take charge of their sexual health and well-being.
