Sexual wellness is essential health care
DAP Health is proud to expand its award-winning sexual wellness services to Oceanside — an area of North San Diego County that has long been underserved. Thanks to a powerful partnership with the North County LGBTQ Resource Center, residents will now have access to care that is free from judgment, stigma, and shame. This collaboration marks a vital step toward health equity, ensuring that everyone — regardless of identity or background — can thrive with dignity and support.
“Good health is sexual health, and sexual health is good health,” says DAP Health Medical Director of Specialty Programs Dr. Jason Halperin. “By expanding access to our sexual wellness services in areas that have historically been lacking, we not only decrease the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases but come one step closer to ending the HIV epidemic. Everyone should be free to enjoy an amazing sex life, and PrEP and PEP for HIV prevention, DoxyPEP for STI prevention, and the mpox vaccine are tools available to anyone who walks through our doors.”
