Viral suppression DOES NOT mean a person is cured; #HIV still remains in the body. If #HIVmedicines are stopped the person's viral load will likely return to a detectable level @AIDSinfo #TasP #HIVTreatmentWorks #GetTested #KnowYourStatus #WorldAIDSDay #sexualhealth #UEqualsU

Like you, @ShereefElnahal, we’re equally committed to providing person-centered access to care for the transgender patient, reducing LGBTQ health care disparities, and improving health and wellness. We should connect!

[Shereef Elnahal, MD @ShereefElnahal]

Much work is needed to ensure transgender Americans are well-served by our healthcare system:

➡24% are denied care
➡25% are harassed in places of care
➡33% avoid healthcare entirely

That's why @NJDeptofHealth wants to spread best practices on care for this vulnerable group!

#GenderAffirmation surgery can transform the lives of people with gender dysphoria. And when a #transgender person is at death's door, talking of #suicide, it can even save lives. Dr. Jonathan Keith provides insights on this experience for patients https://t.co/RWBZhQsWMT

Some more positive news in NJ this afternoon.

NJ will now join four other states that allow for a third gender option on birth certificates. We also joined a number of states that have removed the invasive and burdensome "proof of surgery" requirement. https://t.co/ZtEQh5uawq
