• John the Apostle Metropolitan Community Church
3049 McGregor Blvd. in Fort Myers

Protect yourself. Get tested. Know your status. Learn what is next.
Knowing your status is the first step toward effective HIV prevention and living a healthy and long life. People can reduce their risk for HIV by using appropriate prevention strategies, such as taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), using protection, and getting tested regularly. Contact a health care provider to find out if PrEP is recommended for you. Additionally, people living with HIV who take antiretroviral medication as prescribed and have an undetectable viral load cannot transmit HIV to their sexual partners.
We have the power to both prevent and treat HIV. Call 1-800-FLA-AIDS or visit the DOH-Lee HIV/AIDS Web page or www.KnowYourHIVStatus.com.
