Today’s paper - and yes - we’re seeing the surge at our clinic. It’s one of the reasons why it’s so important that you get tested. Not everybody has symptoms but that doesn’t mean they can’t spread it to you!

Desert Hearts on Thursday at Cinestudio! Be there!!! It will be fun!
2nd Thursdays Cinema — "Desert Hearts"
October 12, 2017, 7:30pm - October 12, 2017, 10:30pm
For October we’re celebrating the first widely-released film to feature a positive lesbian relationship on screen: no one is self-destructive, drinks to excess, or morosely pines for straight girls! Directed by Donna Deitch (who is planning a sequel), this breakthrough movie is set in 1959, as a Columbia University literature professor (Helen Shayer) arrives in Reno to divorce her husband. Staying at a local ‘divorce ranch’ in the Nevada desert, she meets a free-spirited casino worker and potter (Patricia Charbonneau), who opens her heart to self-acceptance, sensual exploration, and love. Watch trailer: youtu.be/pAY933ULA2Q US, 1986, 97 min. Directed by Donna Deitch. Screenplay by Natalie Cooper, based on the novel by Jane Rule. Cast: Helen Shayer, Patricia Charbonneau, Audra Lindley. “Deitch’s refusal to feature the straight world’s reaction to lesbianism as the focus of her film makes all the difference…” – Vito Russo, The Celluloid Closet.
More info on Tuesday's free test day. Remember this test day we're offering free STD as well as HIV testing!
Free testing day is only a few days away! I wanted to clarify some things. We do ask that you make an appointment but we will accept walkins on a first come first serve basis. Someone also asked if we will be accepting donations – absolutely! We're just not charging for any of our standard testing services but donations are always appreciated! Finally, this event is open to all. You don't have to have a particular set of risks, or be a member of the LGBT community. If you know of anybody - friends or partners or former lovers or hookups who could benefit from this free testing day, please invite them even if you're not able to come!
We know that many of us are watching the devastation in Texas from the massive flooding. We want to help yet may prefer to avoid some of the traditional agencies that get donations in such circumstances. A couple of organizations in Houston that you can consider supporting are Resurrection Metropolitan Community Church and The Montrose […]
