About

We flood our Phoenix LGBTQ Community with the love, tools, and information needed to reduce the impact of HIV in each of our lives – regardless of status.

We’ll keep creating focused, long-lasting ripples of awareness throughout the Community until each person has access to a cure.

In Tribute

We’re thankful, inspired, and driven by the original heroes who rallied their communities to make a powerful and unforgettable impact on the AIDS crisis from the start so that our friends could live healthy, beautiful lives.

Noah Altman is a special guy to us!!! And we're so

Noah Altman is a special guy to us!!! And we're so happy to have him jump in this week to take-over a couple AMAZING RippleBriefs!
.
First up this week, we know PrEP is one pill a day you can take to prevent HIV. But for almost 7 years - the only option we had was Truvada! Now, a new med has hit the market - Descovy! And it's got some great perks, but some limitations too! Check out the difference and talk with your doc to see which med would be better for you! The more you know....
.
Thank you, Noah! Keep up the amazing work!!! 💙We love you!💙🏳️‍🌈💦

Truvada versus Descovy: Which PrEP Medication is

Truvada versus Descovy: Which PrEP Medication is right for you?
.
Last year, the FDA approved a second medication approved for daily use to prevent HIV. But what is this new medication, and which should you be using?
.
Let's talk about the things that are the same between the medications, first. The costs are about the same, they both have copay and prescription assistance programs to cover the costs, both have very low-rates of side effects and both have been shown to be >99% effective during sexual contact to prevent HIV if taken daily by males assigned at birth.
.
Now, the differences. Truvada contains 300mg of tenofovir, while Descovy contains only 200mg. Remember, they're both >99% effective, but for people concerned about side effects, bone health or kidney health, Descovy has less medication while being equally effective.
.
So, why wouldn't everyone switch to the newer Descovy? Descovy has no clinical data to support effectiveness in people who inject drugs or were born with a vagina at this time. In other words, there's no evidence of effectiveness among women, trans men or injection drug users....yet. Truvada, however has been shown to be effective for EVERYONE.
.
Talk to your doctor about PrEP and find out which medication is right for you! Get more information about Spectrum Medical's FREE PrEP Navigation Program AND get a FREE Copay/Deductible Assistance Card (to cover up to $7,200/year for Truvada or Descovy) in this week's Mail-Order-Brief! Get yours now by visiting: https://www.ripplephx.org/?page_id=13844 and filling out the form on the top of the page!

Raul St James wants to know if you know anyone liv

Raul St James wants to know if you know anyone living with HIV? Because, chances are, you probably do! But when was the last time you talked about HIV with your friends?
.
Job losses and loss of insurance have many of our friends falling out of HIV treatment right now during these COVID times.
.
Share this message, and let your friends know that THEY matter to you, NOT their status. If they've lost their insurance or have fallen out of HIV care in Arizona, all they have to do is call the Ryan White Central Eligibility Office at 602-212-3788. They're handing everything virtually right now, so it's easier than ever to receive no cost HIV medical and prescription services right away.
.
Learn more about how you can be there for your friends living with HIV by checking out Raul's July article by visiting: https://ripplephx.info/raul Sign his Guestbook while you're there and be entered to win a special gift from Raul at the end of the month! 💙🏳️‍🌈💦

Also, check out Raul as he hosts Loteria this Thursday at 7pm with Saszy DelaCruz! Register to get your FREE Game Board today by filling out the form at: https://ripplephx.info/loteria

This week's Condom-of-the-Week is brought to you b

This week's Condom-of-the-Week is brought to you by Sassy Charming Diaz! She's unpacking the mysteries of the Internal Condom!
.
Get 4 FREE Internal Condoms in this week's Mail-Order-Brief and give them a test drive! Visit https://www.ripplephx.org/?page_id=13844 and fill out the form on that page to order yours today
.
Thank you Sassy! We're so glad you did this and we miss you so much! 💙🏳️‍🌈💦

This week's Condom-of-the-Week is the Internal Con

This week's Condom-of-the-Week is the Internal Condom - sometimes referred to as the Female Condom - or, our favorite - "The Bottom Condom". Where standard condoms roll down the outside of the penis, this condom is placed inside the vagina or anus.
.
If your Top can't keep it up with a standard condom, doesn't like the loss of sensation, or if either of you are allergic to latex, the Internal Condom may be a great option for you! People who love them often say is the most freedom you can have with condom protection.
.
They take a little bit of practice to use them - so it's definitely something you'll want to dive into on your own before you find yourself fumbling in the heat of the moment (...been there). You can also find some clinical instruction videos on YouTube - and some real-life instruction videos on PornHub.
.
Take 4 of these for a test drive FREE in this week's Mail-Order-Brief! Get them before they're gone! If you like them, order another Mail-Order-Brief next week and we'll have packs of 6 available that you can add to your order to fill your nightstand - also at no cost! Order yours today at https://www.ripplephx.org/?page_id=13844
