Here is an easy step you can take to reduce the number of browntail moths around your house.

Browntail moth adults will be flying soon – discourage them from laying eggs (future caterpillars!) in your trees by turning off outdoor lights at night in July.

If you can’t turn off your outdoor lights, consider swapping the outdoor bulb color from white-blue to yellow to attract fewer browntail moth adults.

Taking control of your s*xual health looks different for everyone - but PrEP works for all!

PrEP helps protect your body from HIV through s*x or injection drug use, and there are options to fit your life. Take a daily pill or get a shot every few months, whatever works best for you. Many insurance plans cover PrEP, and financial assistance programs are available.

Talk to a health care provider or visit a local clinic to get started. Find services near you at locator.hiv.gov.
