COMPREHENSIVE PERINATAL CARE PROGRAM (CPCP)
This program is the core of the enabling social services that NEON provides. The program is staffed with four licensed social workers and one health educator. The primary function is to support the patient in a comprehensive manner to enhance the outcome for delivering a healthy baby.

Confidential screenings are completed to include sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, substance abuse and depression screenings. OB health education is provided at all subsequent appointments. The curriculum is divided into first, second and third trimesters and tracked via the electronic medical record. Sexual Activity and STD education is provided to all OB patients through a special grant fund and a program called “Just Be Safe.” Other supportive services provided are: bus tickets, missed appointment outreach, health insurance assistance, dental referrals, emergency funds, home visiting and quarterly group education.

PRE-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS
NEON是一家提供PrEP（暴露前預防）服務的機構。 PrEP是指在接觸病毒之前服用藥物。 PrEP是一種相對較新的HIV預防策略。 NEON的醫護人員接受過專門培訓，能夠以預防HIV感染為目標，為您提供健康管理服務。 NEON的醫護人員知識淵博、樂於助人，隨時準備為決定服用PrEP的人士提供支援。
什麼：
高風險族群每天服用抗愛滋病毒藥物以降低感染風險。 PrEP（暴露前預防）旨在幫助未感染愛滋病毒的人避免從感染愛滋病毒的性伴侶或註射毒品伴侶處感染愛滋病毒。 PrEP可以阻止愛滋病毒在體內定植和擴散。 （美國疾病管制與預防中心）
如何：
患者開始服用兩種抗HIV藥物（替諾福韋和恩曲他濱）的組合，商品名為Truvada®。該藥物必須獲準每日服用。每日服用PrEP可將性傳染HIV的風險降低90%以上，注射毒品傳染HIV的風險降低70%以上。 PrEP只能由醫療保健提供者開立處方，因此請諮詢您的醫療保健提供者，以了解PrEP是否適合您。此外，您必須在開始服用PrEP之前進行HIV檢測，以確保您未感染HIV，並在服用期間每3個月進行一次檢測，因此您需要定期就診進行追蹤（美國疾病管制與預防中心）。
