Taking care of your health starts with having the right information. At Core Life Link, we offer confidential HIV, STI, and Hepatitis C testing, along with prevention options to help you take charge of your health.

You don’t need to have symptoms or consider yourself “high risk” to come in. Whether you’re due for routine testing, have questions about a recent experience, or simply want greater peace of mind, we’re here to help without judgment.

HIV, STI & Hepatitis C Testing

Many infections can occur without noticeable symptoms, so testing can be an important part of routine healthcare.

Not everyone needs the same tests. We’ll talk with you about your health, concerns, and possible exposures to help determine which testing is appropriate for you. Depending on your needs, testing may include blood, urine, or swab samples.

Once your results are available, we’ll help you understand what they mean and what, if anything, comes next.

HIV Prevention

There are more options than ever to help prevent HIV. We’ll help you understand your choices and find an approach that works for you.

PrEP: Prevention Before Exposure

PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a highly effective medication that helps prevent HIV in people who do not have HIV. Options include pills and, for some people, long-acting injections.

You don’t have to consider yourself “high risk” to ask about PrEP. If you’re interested, we can talk with you about your options and whether PrEP fits your health needs and goals.

PEP: Prevention After a Possible Exposure

PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) is emergency medication that can help prevent HIV after a possible exposure.

PEP is time-sensitive and should be started as soon as possible, but no later than 72 hours after a possible HIV exposure.

If you think you may need PEP, don’t wait for symptoms, test results, or a routine appointment.

Call us now: (844) 444-3897
Clinic Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM
Closed for Lunch: 1:00–2:00 PM

If we are closed or cannot see you promptly, go to an emergency department or urgent care and ask for HIV PEP.

Not Sure What You Need?

That’s okay. You don’t need to know which test or prevention option to ask for before you contact us.

Tell us what brought you in, ask your questions, and we’ll help you understand your options and decide what comes next.

Questions. Answered. No Judgment.
