Ending HIV/AIDS through Access to Testing and Treatment

National HIV Testing Day is a time to encourage people to get tested for HIV, know their status, and get linked to care and treatment. While this is a nationwide effort, at Care Resource we remain especially committed to the communities we serve within South Florida. We care for those facing difficulties in accessing care due to language barriers and insurance status.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expanded our HIV testing to ensure that our community members could still receive essential services while adhering to social distancing recommendations. Individuals living within Broward and Miami-Dade counties who have not tested positive for HIV or tested in the past three months can access HIV testing via our at-home program. After testing in the privacy and comfort of their own home, individuals will receive support from testing counselors.

Additionally, we continue to offer PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) for HIV prevention and PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) for treatment after a high-risk encounter. We’ve implemented specific hotlines so individuals can connect with navigators directly to discuss their options and learn more about our telehealth medical services. If needed, Care Resource can assist with emergency transportation to our centers with rides offered via Uber Health.

PrEP/PEP Hotline: 347-919-8904

Throughout this global pandemic, we’re prioritizing the overall wellness of our patients. It is now more important than ever to protect those with compromised immune systems due to chronic illnesses such as HIV. We look to support our community members at higher risk of contracting HIV and who face barriers to care.

Providing affordable access to specialized HIV treatment in addition to general quality care is essential to ending our fight against HIV/AIDS. This National HIV Testing Day, find out your status and help protect our community.
