Significantly reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS & other sexually transmitted infections

Our mission is to leverage education and technology to provide inclusive and personalized sexual health care.

Our vision is to foster a world where health equity is a reality and every individual has unfettered access to comprehensive, respectful, and personalized sexual health care.

A note from our founder

Dr. Varuna Srinivasan

Since I came out in 2020 as bisexual, my life has never been the same. Every single part of my life has been influenced by my sexuality. One part in particular was my health. Bisexuals are more likely to develop cervical cancer, STIs and receive little to no contraception counseling. Tired of searching for accurate health information and finding queer affirmative providers that centered my sexuality was tedious.

So I decided to build Fluid Health because queer people, like me and you deserve better, quality and safe healthcare.

This is my love letter to the LGBTQ+ community and I hope you find the care you are seeking through Fluid Health.

Frequently asked questions

Why sex therapy for pain?

Sex therapists are uniquely positioned to help because they understand how pain affects your relationship with your body and they can offer techniques to address anxiety that intensifies pain.
What happens during the consultation?

Your 15-minute call is an opportunity to briefly share your situation and determine if the therapist might be a good fit. You can ask about their approach to pain management and experience with your specific concerns.
Do I need insurance?

Many of our therapists offer sliding scale options and payment plans. During your consultation, you can discuss financial considerations before making any commitment.
Is this only for queer people?

We're queer-affirming and here for everyone. No exceptions.
I’ve been dismissed by doctors before. How is this different?

We only match you with providers who take your pain seriously. No more medical gaslighting. No more searching alone. Just real, affirming care.
What conditions do you help with?

Fluid helps individuals experiencing sexual and pelvic pain by connecting them with affirming providers who specialize in conditions like vaginismus (involuntary muscle tightening), dyspareunia (painful penetration), vestibulodynia and vulvodynia (burning or stinging pain), endometriosis-related sexual pain, and pelvic floor dysfunction. We also support those struggling with painful sex before, during, or after intercourse; tightness, burning, or discomfort with penetration; fear or anxiety about sex due to pain; and pelvic pain that affects intimacy and relationships.
