Prelib was born from a simple belief: sexual health is health, period. Our mission is to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- make testing simple, quick, and accessible to as many people as possible <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- remove judgment from the equation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- offer pathways tailored to your needs <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
In practice, this means: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- online questionnaires, rather than in person<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- flexible hours to fit work, school, and busy lives<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- inclusive teams trained in sexual health<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- clinics where you can ask any question without fear of judgment <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve always wanted Prelib to be a place where you can say, \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m stressed,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m embarrassed,\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ve never been tested,\u201d and simply hear: \u201cYou\u2019re in the right place, we\u2019re here for you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And as STIs rise in Quebec, particularly gonorrhea and syphilis, having access to simple, fast screening services has never been more important. At Prelib, we\u2019re here to support you, without judgment, every step of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n7 years later: our impact in numbers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
After 7 years, we wanted to share a few key figures, numbers that show what we\u2019ve been building day by day to make prevention more accessible. In 7 years, Prelib has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- plus de 1,5 million de tests<\/strong>\u00a0conducted since 2018<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- over 95,000 patients served in the past year<\/strong> accross Quebec<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- about 80 infections detected and treated<\/strong> every week<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- over 1,200 patients followed-up on PrEP<\/strong>to prevent HIV transmission<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 44% of patients are recurrent<\/strong>, returning to Prelib for regular testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 10 studies published and presented<\/strong> to the international scientific community<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 4 D\u00e9pistafests<\/strong>, in partnership with Club Sexu <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Behind these numbers are simple, everyday actions: people booking an appointment between busy days, taking the time to understand, get reassurance, check in, and leave with useful information, clear answers, and, if needed, a follow-up plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing we\u2019re especially proud of: for a large portion of our patients, Prelib provided their very first-ever STI test.<\/strong>That's exactly what our accessibility mission is all about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When prevention is simple, fast, and judgment-free, we reach people who might never have come otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Values that matter even more today<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
After 7 years, our values haven\u2019t changed, they\u2019ve deepened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Accessibility <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We believe testing should be easy for everyone. Every day, we work to keep our services simple, affordable, covered when possible, and available across multiple regions of Quebec. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compassion <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sexual health is intimate. We get that. We train our teams to welcome each person as they are, with their story, identities, stress, and boundaries. Every visit is guided by respect, listening, and empathy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Autonomy <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We want our patients to understand what\u2019s happening, why a test is recommended, what the results mean, and what options are available to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Innovation that serves reality <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For us, technology is a tool, not the goal. Our platform, teleconsultations, and online pathways exist to remove barriers, save time, reduce unnecessary travel, and make follow-ups smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nImmense gratitude<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Prelib wouldn\u2019t exist today thanks to a motivated office team alone. It\u2019s thanks to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- our patients,<\/strong>who trust us, come back, and tell their friends, partners, and colleagues about us<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- the nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and support staff<\/strong> who make our clinics run every day<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- community organizations<\/strong> that collaborate with us and help us reach the most vulnerable populations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- our healthcare partners<\/strong> who support us and are willing to do things differently to push prevention forward<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- our administrative and tech teams<\/strong>, often behind the scenes, keeping everything running smoothly and improving the patient journey one click at a time <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
We say it often internally, but it bears repeating: beyond our tech platform, Prelib is first and foremost about deeply human services, delivered by committed professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What we've learned from these 7 years<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In 7 years, we have learned that: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- when we talk about sexual health with honesty and care, we gradually help normalize a topic that is still too often taboo<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- when we simplify the process, people come<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- when we remove judgment, conversations become genuine<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- when we collaborate closely with public health services and community partners, our impact grows <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve also learned that prevention requires patience, perseverance, and a good deal of collaboration. What we have built is the result of a joint effort, a shared mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moving forward, together<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For the years ahead, there\u2019s one thing we want above all: to continue expanding access to sexual health prevention across Quebec. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We want to test earlier and treat faster, reach even more people, especially those who have never felt seen by the system, and engage the healthcare network and community partners so that no one feels left behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve ever visited Prelib, shared a link with a friend, mentioned us at dinner, recommended our services, or simply booked an appointment out of curiosity: thank you for being part of this journey with us <\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than ever, we\u2019re determined to make sexual health prevention more accessible, with services that are simpler and more innovative and, above all, deeply human. \ud83d\udc99<\/p>\n\n\n\n
