In the spirit of community care, Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in New York City is taking to the streets this Pride season to equip queer and trans folks with the supplies they need to have a good time and stay safe.

The health center, known for providing accessible healthcare to LGBTQ+ New Yorkers, will be handing out “party packs” in an effort to minimize the spread of sexually transmitted infections and to help people have safer sex this Pride month. Callen-Lorde announced to its social media that the bags will include a rapid HIV testing kit by OraSure, DoxyPEP (also known as the “morning after pill” for bacterial STIs like gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis), PrEP on demand that can be taken before and after sex, lube, sunscreen, lip balm, dental dams, and condoms, as well as Fentanyl testing strips and naloxone, an opioid overdose-reversing drug. People can also add Plan B to their kits by request.
