Today, I met with Edrick from Spectrum Medical to talk about best practices for community outreach, as well as the pros and cons of different types of HIV testing kits. And of course, I’m wearing my Trans PRIDE Friendly T-shirt because representation matters! 🏳️‍⚧️❤️ #ADateWithHIV

Narcan isn’t “just for addicts.” -drink was tampered with. -one impulsive mistake. -too much by accident. Overdose can happen to anyone. Compassion should too. Narcan saves lives -you hope you never need it… but you’ll be grateful it’s there if you do. Less judgment. More lives saved.
