Our mission is to improve overall well-being, normalise conversations around sexual health, and help reduce the burden of HIV across the region.

With Asia being a major hub for international travel, PULSE is committed to further growth to make sexual health services more accessible to all. Today, we continue to lead as an international organisation in modern, comprehensive sexual healthcare and global research initiatives, all within a compassionate, non-judgemental environment.
