AIDS Project Rhode Island

When was your last HIV test?

Knowing your status is an important part of taking care of your health. ❤️

At AIDS Project Rhode Island, we make HIV and Hepatitis C testing simple, safe, and confidential. Through our “Take Charge, Get Tested!” program, free rapid testing is available in a comfortable, private environment with support from trained testing counselors.

Whether it’s been a few months or a few years, today is a great day to check in on your health.

Grateful to be part of a community that shows up to support one another.❤️

Recently, members of our team, along with Pride in Aging RI, attended the July LGBTQ+ Community Café luncheon hosted by Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island. Lieutenant Governor Sabina Matos joined the event, helping serve lunch and sharing a few words with attendees.

We’re proud to support spaces that celebrate every stage of life.❤️

A thousand "thank you"s to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank for their kindness in recognizing AIDS Project Rhode Island's Food Pantry at their recent event. Our Food Pantry helps keep food on the table for a few hundred Rhode Islanders who are living with HIV. This serves as an access hub for us to also provide program participants with resources to meet other needs as well! Thank you again, RICFB!

The heat is more than uncomfortable. It can be dangerous.

As temperatures rise across Rhode Island, take a few simple steps to protect yourself and those around you:

💧 Drink water throughout the day, even if you don't feel thirsty.
☀️ Limit time outdoors during the hottest part of the day.
👕 Wear lightweight, breathable clothing.
🏠 Keep your home as cool as possible.
❤️ Check in on older adults, neighbors, and anyone who may need extra support.
❄️ If you don't have air conditioning, know where your local cooling centers are.

A few small precautions can make a big difference. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe. ❤️

National HIV Testing Day is a reminder that knowing your status is an act of care for yourself and your community.

Getting tested is quick, confidential, and can connect you with the information and support you need. Don't let stigma stand in the way of your health.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, chosen family members, mentors, and father figures who make a difference through love, support, and care.

Today, we celebrate the many ways people show up for their families and communities. Wishing everyone celebrating a day filled with connection, laughter, and time with the people who matter most. ❤️

Flashing back this Friday to last month's Run/Walk for Life.
We just uploaded some new pictures. Tag, share, and comment! ❤️

🌈 Happy Pride Month from all of us at APRI!

Pride is a celebration of being yourself, finding community, and knowing you belong. This month, we celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and stand with those working every day to create a more welcoming and inclusive world.

The spirit of community was strong and beautiful this morning!
