Free at-home HIV self-test kits are now being offered through our Project POWER initiative. HIV self-testing allows you to get tested and learn your status in the privacy of your own home. Results from the self-test are available in about 20 minutes.
You can also text or call 912-414-4962 to order a kit (limit two kits per person).
Need condoms? Fill out our confidential online form or call our condom line at 912-414-4962 and leave your name, mailing address, phone number (only needed for address confirmation) and preferred condom pack (Magnum pack, variety pack, non-latex male pack, or internal condoms – previously known as female condoms), and we will mail them to you.
PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. PrEP is a way for people who don’t have HIV but who are at very high risk of getting it to prevent HIV infection by taking a pill every day. The pill contains two medicines that are also used to treat HIV. If you take PrEP and are exposed to HIV through sex or injection drug use, these medicines can work to keep the virus from taking hold in your body.
PrEP is a powerful HIV prevention tool and can be combined with condoms and other prevention methods to provide even greater protection than when used alone. But people who use PrEP must commit to taking the drug every day and seeing their health care provider for follow-up every three months.
