Our Services
Free Rapid HIV Testing
Knowing your status is sexy. Practicing safer sex along with getting tested is the best way to take charge of your sexual health. At The Source LGBT+ Center, we offer free rapid anonymous testing, provide culturally competent HIV test counseling, and can help you find a provider for PrEP. We are here for you.
PrEP Assistance
PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a medicine taken to prevent getting HIV. PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV when taken as prescribed. PrEP is covered by MediCal and most insurances but can be expensive for those with high co-pays or no insurance. There are many options to help with the cost of PrEP making it more accessible and affordable.
AIDS Drug Assistance Program
The Source LGBT+ Center is proud to partner with the Office of AIDS as the only LGBTQ+ Community Center ADAP enrollment site in Central California. The AIDS Drug Assistance Program helps ensure that people living with HIV who are uninsured or under-insured have access to life-saving medications. ADAP consists of a medication program and health insurance assistance programs. Find out if you qualify today.
