The clinic plays an important role in the community, offering services that include testing for HIV and STDs, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV infection, telehealth visits with an SNHD provider, sexual health education and condoms. Services are available by appointment; clients can call (702) 759-1700.
