On Tuesday, Center on Halsted (“the Center”), the Midwest’s most comprehensive LGBTQ community center, launched a comprehensive campaign to boost the reach of the state’s HIV/AIDS & STD Hotline. The campaign is focused on raising awareness of resources available to individuals living without and with HIV/AIDS and STIs and those seeking general sexual health information. Center on Halsted’s diverse team of health educators and rapid resource responders provide support and referrals to help people find specialty care, wrap around service providers, behavioral health support, LGBTQIA+ supportive care, low-cost/free HIV and STD testing sites, PrEP and PEP locations and assistance, and a wide range of referrals to services. The hotline provides a safe, nonjudgmental space for folks to feel comfortable and ask questions about sexual health, and the Center’s commitment to inclusivity and confidentiality make it an ideal partner for the Illinois Department of Public Health in administering the hotline.
