CEPROSH (Centro de Promoción y Solidaridad Humana)

CEPROSH, the Centro de Promoción y Solidaridad Humana, is a long-running HIV and sexual-health organisation based in central Puerto Plata, a few blocks from Parque Central. Its programmes serve key populations, including gay and bisexual men, trans women and sex workers, and it also has offices in Dajabón and Montecristi. The national trans group Trans Siempre Amigas (TRANSSA) has also run HIV outreach in the province. It is a clinic and community organisation, not a social venue. Google lists weekday hours of 08:30 to 12:30 and 14:30 to 16:30, and it rates 4.7 from about 70 reviews. Call +1 809-586-8987 before you go. It is the closest thing the city has to an LGBTQ+ community resource.
