Cervical screening saves lives 📣

For people with a cervix, screenings should be done every 3 to 5 years starting at age 25 until 65. This includes:
✅ HPV testing every 3 years
✅ Pap smear every 3 years
✅ Or a co-test (HPV and Pap at the same time) every 5 years

We know cervical screenings can be vulnerable, uncomfortable or even triggering for many members of our community. No matter the situation, you deserve care in a space that is safe and affirming. At Callen-Lorde, we are committed to every patient’s safety and comfort. All our providers are trauma-informed with experience working with LGBTQ+ patients.

We also have options to:
🩵 Self-swab for certain tests
🩵 Request an advocate (a trained staff member)
🩵 Or bring a friend/family member/partner into the exam room with you

This day in HIV and AIDS history...on January 7, 1983, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report reports the first cases of AIDS in women in the U.S. In later years, the definition of AIDS would include women thanks to advocates such as Katrina Haslip among others.

From the start of the HIV and AIDS epidemic in the U.S., women have frequently been minimized or erased from the conversation. For example, the medical community initially incorrectly deemed q***r women as immune to HIV. Disparities in medical research and access to care for women persist to this day. And advocates, both past and present, continue to highlight the toll of such inequities.

As artist collective Gran Fury put it in their 1991 piece, "Women don't get AIDS, they just die from it." Gran Fury's work highlights the cost of excluding women from the conversation and care. Anyone can acquire HIV, anyone can develop AIDS. Equitable and effective prevention and treatment must be available to all people if we are to .

Today, December 17 marks International Day to End Violence Against S*x Workers, a global call to action to honor lives lost and demand greater protections for our s*x work community.

At Callen-Lorde, we recognize that s*x workers deserve healthcare that is free of stigma, shame and fear. Through the COIN (Cecilia’s Occupational Inclusion Network) Clinic, we’re committed to affirming care, harm reduction and building trust with s*x workers from all walks of life.

Let’s use this day to uplift s*x work advocacy groups across NYC and beyond and recommit to fighting for the safety, dignity and freedom of our s*x work community."

📣 As our prevention toolbox expands with new long-acting injectables (LAI) on the scene, such as the recently approved twice-yearly injectable lenacapavir (brand-named Yetzugo), our own Stephen Sukumaran, MPH Director of Callen-Lorde's LAI program sits with Becker's Healthcare Podcast to discuss best practices and lessons learned from PrEP implementation and rollout.

💬 As Stephen says, "Leveraging electronic health records isn't about technology for its own sake. It's about making sure people who could benefit from long acting prep don't fall through the cracks. When we design these systems thoughtfully, we make prevention easier, more equitable, and more sustainable."
