Confidential Care You Can Trust
Introduction
Introduction
At Lawrence Primary Care, we provide comprehensive HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) services with a focus on privacy, respect, and personalized care. Sexual health is an important part of overall well-being, and accessing care should feel safe, supportive, and free from judgment.
HIV and STIs are more common than many people realize, and in many cases, they can be effectively treated or managed when identified early. Advances in modern medicine now allow individuals living with HIV to lead long, healthy lives, while many STIs can be cured or controlled with appropriate care.
Our goal is to make testing, treatment, and prevention simple and accessible, so you can take control of your health with confidence.
What You Should Know About HIV and STIs
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections that spread primarily through sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, and anal sex. Some infections can also be transmitted through blood or from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) affects the immune system by weakening the body’s ability to fight infections. Without treatment, HIV can progress over time, but with early diagnosis and proper care, it can be effectively managed.
Healthcare providers strongly emphasize that early testing and timely treatment are key to achieving the best outcomes. When HIV or an STI is detected early, treatment can begin sooner and reducing complications and improving long-term health.
Key Benefits of Early Care:
-
Enables timely and effective treatment
-
Reduces the risk of complications
-
Helps prevent transmission
-
Supports long-term health and well-being
-
Provides peace of mind and clarity

HIV Treatment and Prevention
Healthcare providers emphasize that starting treatment early is critical.
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) works by reducing the amount of virus in the body, helping protect the immune system and prevent
progression of the disease.
When taken consistently, ART can reduce the virus to very low or undetectable levels. This not only supports long-term health but
also significantly reduces the risk of transmission.
Preventive options such as PrEP and PEP have also transformed HIV prevention, offering effective ways to reduce the risk of infection
before or after potential exposure.
