LGBTQIA2S+

Primary Care Services

AR Health is committed to providing culturally competent care in a safe, judgment-free setting. Our staff has had LGBTQIA2S-specific cultural humility training. We use gender-neutral language and affirmed gender pronouns to create a more inclusive environment to acknowledge and respect people of all gender identities. Referrals to affirming providers are made if specialty care is needed. We believe everyone has a right to high-quality health care.

Primary & Preventive Care

Routine physical exams, screenings, vaccinations, and chronic disease management, including anxiety and depression.

Sexual Health

Hepatitis screening, STI testing and treatment, HIV testing, DoxyPEP, gynecological services, contraception management, and condom distribution.

PrEP

Pre-exposure prophylaxis - medicine is taken to help prevent getting HIV. Learn more.

PEP

Post-exposure prophylaxis - medicine is taken to prevent HIV after possible exposure. Learn more.

Sexual Assault

Resources

If you are a survivor of sexual assault, you may be eligible for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). PEP consists of taking a short course of antiretroviral medications to reduce the risk of getting HIV after a potential exposure. You must start PEP within 72 hours of the potential exposure since there is a limited timeframe to prevent HIV from replicating and spreading throughout the body.

The following organizations have 24-hour crisis hotlines for sexual assault survivors:

YWCA's Wise Options Program in Lycoming County: 1-800-326-8483
Transitions in Union County: 1-800-850-7948
Centre Safe in Centre County: 1-877-234-5050
Roads to Peace in Clinton County: 570-748-9509

AIDS Resource launched a program to provide financial assistance to survivors of sexual assault who cannot afford PEP. We are here to help. Please contact us if you need assistance paying for PEP (including copays and deductibles) or securing a prescription for PEP.
