Local clinic AshwellAtx launches new PrEP-funding campaign.

Gilead Sciencesdissolved when Gilead canceled its significant funding of free PrEP treatment through the federal 340B drug pricing program.

While the loss of funding represents a scary future, ASHwell proves themselves no pillow princess by refusing to lay back while getting, well, f*cked by pharma financial tomfoolery. Instead, the clinic will be launching “,” a monthly giving campaign that allows the community to contribute to providing free sexual wellness and support services to over 500 uninsured patients.

The campaign will offer exclusive merchandise for each level of monthly contribution, with the aesthetic being that of “a Care Bears take-over of PornHub,” says ASHwell Deputy Director of Strategic Partnerships. “This campaign is fun but also gives everyone a chance to get behind a very impactful mission. Free and equitable healthcare for ALL, especially for queer and trans people of color.

Receiving is always nice, especially when you’re getting cute kinky creations, but giving means you’ll be helping ASHwell “penetrate hard-to-reach populations,” as their press release notes. Director of Client Servicessays that when left to navigate the maze of insurance and assistance programs on their own, most patients can become overwhelmed, often resulting in those folks dropping out of care entirely.

ASHwell’s “F**K Buddies” campaign launches today, Monday, June 20.
