We have some new data on PrEP usage to share. ICYMI, PrEP stands for “pre-exposure prophylaxis” and is a medication which prevents HIV infection.

Teens and young adults face many barriers to PrEP access, including a lack of comprehensive sex education, limited sexual health services, and high levels of stigma. They had one of the lowest rates of PrEP use across age but experienced the highest amount of HIV stigma.

National LGBTQ Healthcare Awareness Week wraps up

National LGBTQ Healthcare Awareness Week wraps up today. Gay and bisexual men made up 67% of new HIV diagnoses in the United States in 2022. HIV infection rates have fallen across the country except in one group: young gay/bi men of color. Gay and bisexual men are also at a higher risk for other STIs than others.

This week we drew attention to health disparities in the LGBTQ+ community and to call for equitable, stigma-free healthcare. Let’s keep advocating for quality healthcare for all!

If you need free, confidential HIV, STI, or Hepatitis C testing, contact us at the link in our bio.

The 2024 State of LGBTQ Health National Survey fou

The 2024 State of LGBTQ Health National Survey found persistent barriers to LGBTQ health. Pervasive stigma and distrust in the healthcare system top the list of reasons LGBTQ community members avoid seeking healthcare.
Throughout National LGBTQ Healthcare Awareness Week, we draw attention to the importance of stigma-free access to healthcare. Feeling comfortable enough to share your gender identity and sexuality enables providers to take care of you as a whole person. Everyone deserves quality healthcare without any stigma.
