As TGNB health—including gender-affirming care and HIV resources—comes under attack, let’s remember that our communities have survived through deep care & advocacy. After all, HIV advocacy and care has always been led by trans leaders, s*x workers, communities of color, and LGBTQ+ people resisting erasure.

In the radical tradition of leaders such as Cecilia Gentili, Lorena Borjas, Tori Cooper, and Marissa Miller, highlighted in our campaign, we find our power in each other. Trans visibility and HIV awareness are inseparable: knowing your status is claiming your future. Caring for your health–whether that’s HIV prevention or treatment and/or gender-affirming care––is claiming your right to exist.

Let’s build networks of care so strong they cannot be undone. This , take the first step by getting tested, knowing your status and being visible. Visit link in our bio for map of testing locations https://www.nyc.gov/site/doh/health/health-topics/hiv-be-hiv-sure.page
