Big To***co has targeted LGBTQ+ people for decades (look up "Project SCUM" 🤮).

The to***co industry spends billions of dollars on marketing to hook q***r people - and it works. Q***r people are significantly more likely to use harmful to***co/nicotine products.

This Pride Month, celebrate your health by imagining a to***co/nicotine-free future!

Quitting is hard, but support can make it easier. Plan to quit with a friend so you don't have to start your journey alone. 💞

Free quit support is available. Get all the details using the link in the comments.

June 5 is HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day.

➡️ Today, people living with HIV who know their status, take HIV medication as prescribed, and keep an undetectable viral load can live long and healthy lives - but it took years of devastation, care, activism, and scientific advancements to get here.

HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day honors long-term survivors of HIV to raise awareness and fight enduring stigma.

Scroll through to learn more about the history of and how we can all support people living with HIV.

We’re here for anyone who needs HIV testing, PrEP, PEP, and other sexual health services! Call our team at 734-544-6700 or explore our website to learn more (link in the comments).
