SAAF's mission is to promote health, well-being, and social justice for those living with HIV, LGBTQ+ individuals, and communities marginalized by society. I specialize in sexual and reproductive health and currently at SAAF Health provide TELEHEALTH ONLY (for now) services including PrEP and PEP, basic primary care, birth control, STI testing and treatment, HIV testing and referral for care, Hep C testing and treatment. The physical clinic should be opening in 2023. I work part time, but please feel free to check out the profile of Whitney Pettijohn, FNP, who is the full time provider at SAAFHealth if I am not available. I am from just outside Baltimore, lived in Seattle for years, and love hiking and biking here in Tucson now!
