Be healthy for you. Every day, do something for you. 💙

Drink water. Take a walk. Rest when you need to. Check in with yourself. Make the appointment. Ask the question.

Taking care of your health is not just one big decision — it’s the small choices you make every day to protect your body, your peace, and your future.

And yes, sexual health is part of that care too.

PrEP may be an option if you want added protection against HIV. Testing helps you know your status. PEP and DoxyPEP may also be part of your prevention options when needed.

At STAR Health Center, we’re here to help you understand your choices with confidential, judgment-free care.

No insurance? No worries — we can help.

No symptoms doesn’t mean no risk.

Many STIs can happen without obvious symptoms — so you may not always feel something, see something, or know something is there.

That’s why testing matters.

STI testing is quick, confidential, and part of taking care of yourself and the people you connect with.

No shame. No judgment. Just answers.

At STAR Health Center, we’re here for Brooklyn with sexual health care that includes STI testing, PrEP, PEP, DoxyPEP, and prevention support.

No insurance? No worries — we can help.
