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.

February 28 is HIV Is Not a Crime Awareness Day, an opportunity to amplify the voices of those who have been criminalized based on their HIV status.

Living with HIV is not a crime, but in more than 30 US states, people are being imprisoned due to their HIV status. HIV criminalization laws use a person’s positive HIV status in a criminal prosecution. The simple fact that they have HIV increases charges or punishments.

This awareness day was first observed in 2022 by the Sero Project in collaboration with the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
