HEAT’s adolescent-focused model puts the young person in the center of their care and involves the client in all decisions about their treatment.

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is powerful HIV prevention—available as a daily pill or a long-acting injectable (every 2 months). Both options are safe, effective, and free or low-cost for most people.

Whether you like to set it and forget it with the shot, or stay on track daily with the pill, PrEP gives you control and peace of mind.

Fear Less. Live More. PrEP Protects. 💪🏽
