Pride Center of Vermont

Pride Center of Vermont provides comprehensive health and wellness services to the LGBTQ+ community in Burlington, VT and throughout the region. The organization specializes in HIV prevention and testing, offering free rapid HIV testing with results available in just 20 minutes using the OraQuick Rapid HIV-12 Antibody Test. Beyond testing, Pride Center of Vermont delivers critical services including Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) support—a daily medication that can reduce HIV risk by up to 99% when taken as prescribed—and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) guidance for individuals who have potentially been exposed to HIV. The center connects clients with qualified healthcare providers, assists with insurance coverage through Vermont Health Connect, and helps eligible individuals access medication through copay assistance programs and Gilead's Advancing Access initiative. For those without insurance, the Pride Center works with community health centers and Planned Parenthood to ensure affordable access to preventive care and doctor visits. The organization also maintains an Affirming Provider Database and continues to offer harm reduction services through partnerships with VT Cares. With experienced health navigators on staff, Pride Center of Vermont serves as a trusted resource for LGBTQ+ individuals seeking compassionate, judgment-free healthcare services tailored to their unique needs and circumstances.
