Hope and Help Center of Central Florida Inc

Prevention: our prevention program is comprehensive and inclusive, addressing not only hiv but also other sexually transmitted infections (stis) such as syphilis and hepatitis c. In addition to offering educational presentations, training, and interventions, our health educators conduct outreach to minority and underserved communities across central florida. Individuals who test positive for any of these infections are immediately connected with appropriate resources and support services. Furthermore, our syringe exchange program plays a vital role in harm reduction by providing individuals with access to wound care supplies, clean needles in exchange for their used ones, and recovery education and resources. This initiative not only helps prevent the transmission of blood-borne infections such as hiv and hepatitis c but also promotes safer injection practices. Additionally, we distribute narcan, an opioid overdose reversal medication, to further address the opioid crisis and prevent overdose deaths within our communities. Our prevention program is committed to meeting the diverse needs of our community members and ensuring that they have access to the resources and support necessary to maintain their health and well-being.
