HIV Prevention
At Wellness Services Inc., we are committed to reducing the spread of HIV through education, free testing, and community engagement. Our HIV prevention efforts are rooted in harm reduction, health equity, and empowerment, ensuring that everyone has access to the knowledge and resources needed to make informed decisions about their health.
Our team is dedicated to providing a judgment-free, supportive space where people can seek information, testing, and resources with dignity and respect.
Since 1985, we have worked to educate, test, and support individuals impacted by HIV. Over the years, our mission has expanded beyond awareness and testing to include comprehensive health services, harm reduction initiatives, and advocacy efforts that promote community wellness. Whether you are seeking free HIV testing, prevention education, or resources, we are here to support you.
Free HIV Testing Services
At Wellness Services Inc., we provide free, confidential HIV counseling and testing to support our community’s health and wellness. Our testing is available on a walk-in basis Monday through Thursday from 10:30 AM – 5:30 PM, with the last walk-in accepted at 5:30 PM. Appointments can also be scheduled if preferred.
Testing is fast and convenient, taking about 20–30 minutes with same-day results. Each session includes HIV awareness education, an exposure assessment, and the development of a personalized exposure reduction plan.
In addition to in-office testing, we also provide offsite testing at community events and can arrange testing for groups in partnership with organizations and community members.
If a test comes back reactive, our team will provide immediate linkage to medical care and early intervention services, ensuring individuals can access treatment quickly in a space that affirms their identity and experiences. We also connect clients to additional community resources to support their ongoing health and well-being.
Counseling & Testing Services
Our team is committed to providing confidential, judgment-free screenings and support to the community. We offer FREE testing for HIV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomoniasis and Hepatitis C (added in 2019).
In addition to testing, we provide counseling and referral services to connect individuals with the care and resources they need.
PrEP Navigation
Wellness Services Inc. is committed to keeping our clients informed about the latest advancements in HIV prevention and care. We provide education and resources on PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), a highly effective tool for preventing HIV. Our team helps individuals understand how PrEP works, its benefits, and how to access it. For those who qualify, we offer guidance on obtaining a prescription and connecting with providers who can support their prevention goals.
Informational Sessions (HIV/STI 101)
This 90‐minute information session is designed to present basic HIV information. Topics covered will include basic definitions, transmission, STIs, risk reduction and counseling, testing and referral. Info sessions are offered to our community partners to complement their services.
Condom Distribution
Wellness Services Inc. has partnered with multiple community organizations to ensure free condom access throughout the Greater Flint area. In addition, free condoms are available in our office for anyone who needs them. Condoms play a vital role in exposure reduction, helping prevent the transmission of HIV and other STIs while promoting overall sexual health. By increasing access to condoms, we empower individuals to make informed choices and protect themselves and their partners.
Linkage to Community Resources
Wellness Services Inc. actively builds strong partnerships with medical and social service providers to ensure individuals have access to the resources they need. Through outreach, engagement, and collaboration, our team connects clients to essential services, including healthcare, housing assistance, mental health support, and other community resources. By fostering these partnerships, we help remove barriers and ensure that everyone receives the support they deserve.
