On Wednesday, December 10, 2014 over 50 health and human service professionals and members of the LGBTQ community on Long Island were in attendance at Pride for Youth's PrEP/PEP Community Forum. The Forum was held in partnership with the North Shore/LIJ Center for Young Adult, Adolescent & Pediatric HIV, whose medical staff spoke and provided education on these relatively new  HIV prevention methods. This Forum was held in conjunction with the launch of Pride for Youth's new PrEP/PEP program the first of its kind on Long Island. We are thrilled to be embarking on this new partnership with the North Shore/LIJ Center for Young Adult, Adolescent & Pediatric HIV in order to bring expanded services to the LGBTQ community on Long Island. Stay tuned for more exciting announcements about this partnership in the near future!
