Hello SHC Blog
Love is real. Trust is real. And with the right tools, HIV prevention is real too. At Simple Healthcare (SHC) in Hauppauge, NY, we know that many people are in mixed-status relationships—where one partner is HIV-positive and the other is HIV-negative. This story is for you.
A Real-Life Love Story 💬
Meet Jordan and Alex. Jordan is HIV-negative. Alex is HIV-positive and on treatment, living a healthy, full life. When they first started dating, Jordan worried:
“Can we have a normal relationship? Can I stay HIV-negative and still be intimate with the person I love?”
The answer, thankfully, is yes.
Alex’s HIV treatment kept their viral load undetectable — and when a person is undetectable, they cannot transmit HIV (also known as U=U: Undetectable = Untransmittable). But Jordan wanted extra protection and peace of mind. That’s where PrEP came in.
How PrEP Changed Everything
PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is a medication that helps prevent HIV before exposure. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is up to 99% effective.
At Simple Healthcare (SHC) in Hauppauge, Suffolk County, NY, Jordan started PrEP quickly and easily.
There were two options:
- Oral PrEP (Truvada or Descovy) — a daily pill.
- Injectable PrEP (Apretude / Yeztugo) — a long-acting injection every 2–6 months.
Jordan chose injectable PrEP because it meant fewer reminders, fewer pills, and steady protection.
With Alex staying undetectable and Jordan on PrEP, their love story was built on trust, safety, and freedom.
