I used to feel as though I belonged when I was at the Monday night support group, held by Mia. But when you're facing real world challenges, not meaning anyone's issues are less real, and the same person keeps pushing their way into the spotlight, claiming to be an expert, it's time to realize I was never acceptable in their view.

That's why, week after week, month after month, I was never invited to go out with them afterwards.

My experience was unique . Unique in a way I will Never forget. I met more than 7 staff members Gabriella being the highlight of the visit. I must admit there experience could not have been any better than it was . I look forward to future encounters and engagement with the facitlity .

Super friendly and incredibly helpful staff. I went for an appointment that wasn't even for their facility specifically (they allowed another facility to share their space for an event) and they were welcoming to everyone even though we weren't there for them.

I came here a few years back to do community service because I have health issues that prevent me from doing outdoor manual labor especially in the summertime. Everyone at The Center was so kind and welcoming. I really enjoyed my time here.
For anyone who could use a place you can go and be welcomed I would definitely recommend you check this place out. I know they offer help in HIV/STI testing and can also help with finding mental/medical services.
If you are in need of some advice or could just do with seeing a friendly face definitely stop in and say hi!

This experience was new and interesting. The staff smiled, spoke clearly and politely, and didn't rush through the details of stuff. They make sure you understand what you're doing, not only do that you have the knowledge, but also so you understand the importance of everything involved. Almost immediately after opening, I walked inside, was greeted and provided with the clipboard to fill out. I hadn't even gotten to my address and I was called! So being early, especially first thing in the morning on a Monday, helps out. The testing for the first bit wasn't too long, maybe 20 minutes or so, but largely due to the results of the test needing to develop. Conversation was professional and light, nothing awkward. The same with the second test. Quick, easy, in and out, nothing complicated. All told, entire visit lasted maybe an hour, if even that. To top it all off, these people are doing this non-profit. They're doing it so they can help the community. Your orientation and/or preference doesn't matter. They're here to help you. And yes, it's better to know and be informed, than to live not knowing and possibly hurting someone or yourself.

Get tested, be aware, possibly save a life

I would give this place 100 stars if I could.
It’s amazing that they do these tests completely FREE!
If you go anywhere else you will be charged hundreds of dollars for these tests. Which is insane. %90 of the population doesn’t have that kind of money to get tested all the time.
The staff is amazing. They are so friendly they make you feel good and calm in the most stressful time for any human.
Thank you so much for this amazing facility.

Discreet, helpful staff that are caring without being judgmental. I came in for regular HIV/STI testing and was in and out quickly. Wait times can vary though depending on time and day, but they work to give individual care. They’re a fantastic resource and all testing is free.
