Sexual Health and STI’s

Empowering Sexual Health: Education, Testing, and Support

Understanding and addressing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is crucial for overall health and HIV prevention. At Face to Face, we provide judgment-free education, testing resources, and support to help you make informed decisions about your sexual health.

The Connection to HIV/STIs can increase

  • Risk of HIV and other STI transmission
  • Vulnerability to HIV infection
  • Complications for people living with HIV

Many STIs show no symptoms, making regular testing essential for sexual health.
