Published by Ministério da Saúde (Brazil)· 22 Sep 2026About
Santa Catarina's state infectious-diseases hospital near the centre, the unit a local LGBTQ+ guide listed for PEP 24 hours a day, and the natural place to ask if you run out of HIV medication while on the island.
This clinic doesn’t advertise itself as LGBTQ+ friendly. Most clinics don’t, so this isn’t a sign that it’s unwelcoming. If you’ve been, tell us how you were treated.
