On Monday, Prism Health North Texas (PHNTX) unveiledcan expansion of the Nice Package program, a service launched in 202 that offers the community a convenient way to access free condoms and promote sexual wellness.
As part of the organization’s mission to promote the health equity of the communities it serves through education, prevention, research and affirming personalized healthcare, PHNTX is utilizing grant funding provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services to further invest in the Nice Package program as a prevention method, especially as rates of infections of diseases like syphilis increase rapidly in the state. “We hope to see Texans across the state utilize the Nice Package program in order to prevent STI and HIV infections but also to increase conversations about knowing one’s status, openly discussing testing and protection messages with partners and community members, and to dismantle the stigma surrounding these vital conversations,” PACE Director Januari Fox said in today’s press release The Nice Package program will now offer five types of packages that include items like condoms with options for latex-free formulas, lubricants and dental dams.
The Full Package, pictured, includes an OraQuick In-Home HIV Test Kit. These packages, which can be viewed and ordered here, are free to Texans aged 18 and older at zero cost.
