BERKELEY FREE CLINIC HIV PREVENTION REFERRALS

This page is based on the referral sheet we offer test clients at the BFC. The referrals are primarily for the East Bay. I post it here as an example of a referral list that other test sites can adapt to their own local resources. The list is very incomplete mainly because this list was designed to fit on one half of a page. The list may also be out of date.

SOME RECOMMENDED CONDOMS
Beyond Seven (stretchy and thin, very sensitive)
Maxx (Stretchy and thin)
Kimono (snugger fit, thin)
Lifestyles Tuxedo (black, big n' baggy)
Kiss o' Mint (unlubricated, slight mint taste)
These can be converted into a dental dam by cutting off the tip
and cutting through the rolled up condom circle, unroll it and, voila!
