RAIN

RAIN (Regional AIDS Interfaith Network) is the largest HIV nonprofit in the Carolinas, based in Uptown Charlotte. It provides free and confidential HIV testing, PrEP navigation, medical case management, housing assistance, and prevention education, and has served people living with and affected by HIV in the region since 1992. For LGBTQ+ visitors the practical takeaway is access: RAIN is a reliable local resource for sexual-health services, PrEP, and referrals while in Charlotte, and a long-standing pillar of the city's queer and public-health community.
