Read about some of the ways PRISM is fighting for racial equity and justice in South Florida and beyond. STANDS WITH From the beginning, PRISM has lived by one motto: For every color, for everyone We don't take that lightly. The individuals who make PRISM the thriving community it is would not be where they are today without the unparalleled contributions of people of color. For decades, the injustices directed towards minorities of all varieties have gone unnoticed, but nowhere is that more prevalent than in black and brown communities across America. It is high time for change, and PRISM is proud to stand with those driving that change. That's why we are officially calling for all of our donors, volunteers, and affiliates to join us in our fight for racial equity and justice. Here are some of the ways PRISM is advocating for change. Click any of them below for more information: PRISM provides educational resources that highlight the integral roles that POC have played in the LGBT civil rights movement, as well as the unique issues people of color face within the LGBT community. PRISM's BIPOC Advocates Task Force , a section of our volunteer base, was created to develop POC-related initiatives that push for real, sustainable change for QPOC, both within and outside of the LGBT community . We have released a permanent collection on our shop centered around the queer black and brown community. 100% of the proceeds we receive from our QPOC Collection are distributed to charities and organizations supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.

PRISM aims to provide LGBTQ+ youth in South Florida and beyond with the education and support they need. It is our goal to make sure everyone feels included in their community, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

< Back to School Policy Hub DoxyPEP What is DoxyPEP? How Does DoxyPEP Work? Who Can Benefit From DoxyPEP? Considerations and Risks Get Tested Today DoxyPEP is a little pill you can take to prevent exposure to STIs . If you're looking for information on PEP and/or PrEP, which prevent exposure to HIV, check out our other article . What is DoxyPEP? Doxycycline Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (DoxyPEP) is an emerging strategy to prevent certain bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It involves taking the antibiotic doxycycline after unprotected sex to reduce the risk of acquiring STIs like syphilis and chlamydia. How Does DoxyPEP Work? DoxyPEP entails taking a 200 mg dose of doxycycline as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours — but no later than 72 hours — after unprotected sex. Doing so aims to prevent the establishment of bacterial infections following exposure. Who Benefits From DoxyPEP? Research has shown that DoxyPEP is most effective in reducing the risk of syphilis and chlamydia among gay and bisexual men and transgender women. Considerations and Risks While DoxyPEP shows promise, it’s essential to consider potential risks: Antibiotic Resistance: Overuse of antibiotics can lead to resistance, making infections harder to treat. Side Effects: Doxycycline can cause side effects like nausea, sensitivity to sunlight, and digestive issues. Consult Your Healthcare Provider Before starting DoxyPEP, discuss it with a healthcare professional to determine if it’s suitable for you. They can provide guidance based on your health history and potential risks. Stayed Informed As research evolves, guidelines may change. Stay updated on the latest recommendations from trusted health sources. DoxyPEP represents a proactive approach to STI prevention, offering an additional layer of protection for those at higher risk. However, it is crucial to use this strategy responsibly and in consultation with healthcare providers. Get Tested Today HIV testing is fast and easy. The Affordable Care Act ensures HIV screening is covered by health insurance without a copay, and some sites offer free testing without insurance.
