Bridging Access to Care

Anyone can get HIV — your age, background, or life experience doesn’t change that.

Knowing your status is an important step in taking care of your health. Regular testing can help with early detection and treatment, supporting a healthier future.

At Bridging Access to Care, we offer FREE and confidential HIV testing in a respectful and supportive environment.

Making changes around substance use isn’t always easy—but small steps can make a real difference.

✨ Pay attention to what situations or feelings make it harder
✨ Talk to someone you trust or a professional
✨ Find a friend who can support you and keep you accountable

Whether you’re thinking about change or already taking steps, we’ve got you.

Recognizing the signs of substance misuse can help us support the people we care about with compassion and understanding.

Changes in behavior, physical health, or emotional well-being may be signals that someone is struggling. Paying attention to these signs can create opportunities to offer support early—before challenges grow more serious.

At Bridging Access to Care, we believe that everyone deserves support, dignity, and access to care on their path to recovery.

If you or someone you know may need support, help is available.

📞 Call 347-505-5000 to learn more about our services.

Around 13% of people living with HIV in the United States are unaware of their status.
