Also on this because yes - if trans kids are offered PB, they are more likely to prioritise taking care of their overall health into adulthood, including sexual health.

Trans affirming care IS HIV prevention

I had the pleasure of helping organize a workshop on the trans community’s involvement in HIV activism with @NikolaosPapado7 @sexhistorian @chaseledin at @natlibscot !
Thanks to everyone who attended and to @EddyLaurie1 who captured the themes of our discussion beautifully 🏳️‍⚧️🩷

This is such sad news.

@aidsmap is such a fantastic source of information. A real loss for the HIV sector.

[Scottish Trans @ScottishTrans]

The reason why I love being a GUM/HIV doctor is that I get to tackle inequalities to marginalised communities. Health is a basic human right and it should be equitable for everyone. This talk was, by far, the best of #BHIVA2024 @crageshri @mattisfaction85 @HIVpharmaSis
