5/5 River B. 10 months ago on Google
So,
I
just
moved
from
Texas
and
woke
up
this
morning
to
find
I
had
3
doses
left
of
my
PrEP
(the
HIV
prevention
medicine
that
you
absolutely
must
take,
every
day,
without
fail).
I
walked
in
at
5:40pm
to
this
clinic
thinking
it'd
be
fine,
because
I
got
that
prescription
in
a
Planned
Parenthood
-
in
Texas.
Turns
out
they
can't
necessarily
share
data.
And
they
couldn't
guarantee
I
could
be
seen,
and
their
next
appointment
that
fit
my
work
schedule
was
a
week
away.
So
I'm
sitting
there
in
the
waiting
room
having
a
minor
panic
attack
(if
you're
on
PrEP
you
know
how
serious
it
is
to
never
miss
a
dose)
and
by
sheer
luck
apparently
someone
canceled.
I
hear
my
name
being
called
and
I
head
back,
still
stressed
to
death,
and
that's
when
I
met
Raven.
They
were
the
most
honest-to-goodness
kind
person
I've
ever
had
the
pleasure
of
interacting
with
in
any
clinic,
or
honestly
anywhere,
period.
I
went
in
a
tense
mess
but
within
minutes
we
were
laughing
and
chatting
and
all
the
stress
just
melted
off.
Not
only
was
he
nice,
but
genuinely
warm,
and
even
as
anxious
as
I
was
they
made
me
feel
like
it
was
going
to
be
okay.
They
weren't
able
to
answer
every
question
but
did
his
best
throughout,
and
put
up
with
me
rambling
on
about
literally
everything...
I
mean,
sincerely,
this
clinic
is
beyond
lucky
to
have
Raven.
He's
a
treasure,
and
I
hope
I
get
to
see
them
at
every
visit.
The
doctor
was
also
very
polite
and
friendly,
and
I
was
able
to
get
a
new
prescription
for
my
meds
sent
to
my
pharmacy
easily.
Another
key
thing
is
they're
open
weekends,
which,
for
someone
with
a
8-to-5
weekday
job
is
super
helpful.
I'm
glad
I
was
able
to
get
help
and
not
have
to
risk
missing
my
meds
(or
going
to
St.
Paul
at
7:30
in
the
morning
tomorrow
to
another
clinic
that
had
an
opening),
but
Raven
and
the
doctor
(whose
name
is
escaping
me,
embarrassingly)
took
this
experience
from
being
just
'well,
I
got
the
bare
minimum
I
needed'
to
being
one
where
I
walked
out
feeling
welcomed
and
validated
and
with
the
knowledge
things
would
be
okay.
This
happens
to
be
the
closest
PP
to
me,
but
honestly,
even
if
it
were
20
miles
away
I'd
still
come
back
for
the
incredible
folks
here.
