Travere Therapeutics’ Post

Between kink and danger, there is a purposeful pandemic. Stealthing. Gift giving. Gift receiving. Generationing. These are the main characters in the stories of individuals who want STDs. The subject of people who purposefully infect others with STDs is not well known beyond the gay community. But this book will give you a look at the LGBTQ+ community you’ve never seen before. In this shocking exposé, you will learn about HIV and AIDS patients who intentionally engage in STD kink with their partners. You will meet the medical professionals lending their thoughts about this risky behavior. Find out how to protect yourself and the controversial balance of risk and benefit obtained from willing infection. The F**k Flu is filled with upfront candor and a challenging narrative that readers will find hard to put down. https://lnkd.in/e9UJ5US9

Register today and join the webinar "Responding to Project 2025’s Threats to Science, Rights and Resources" EATG co-sponsors this webinar 📆 Tuesday, July 9, 2024 🕒 15.00 - 16.30 CET (9 AM - 10:30 AM eastern) 🔻 Click below to register https://lnkd.in/dBPCqZXd Description: Project 2025 is part of an ongoing multi-pronged backlash to the sexual and reproductive health, gender and LGBTQ+ movements. It is likely the national game plan of a Trump administration should he win the US presidential election in November. This has serious implications for both domestic and foreign policies and programs for our communities and beyond. Building on the experience of the HIV movement in fighting these same far-right forces, this webinar will discuss potential responses through the lens of HIV affected communities and programs.

Looking forward to participating in this conversation. Project 2025 is something we should all be paying attention to. It is not just a political agenda; it is a potential catalyst for deepening health inequities that have been decades in the making. Recognizing that this is just the latest in decades-long attempts to redraw political and health landscapes in this nation is pivotal. In the 70s, after the success of the Civil Rights movement, we saw the radical response of the far-right, with the Southern Strategy. Its utilization of racial tensions to reshape electoral politics and stratify healthcare services lead to detrimental health outcomes for minority and underserved populations. In the 80s, we saw the implementation of Reaganomics and its cuts to social services, leading to reduced access to healthcare, disproportionately affecting communities of color. Join us in this dynamic discussion in July.

February is LGBT+ History Month and this year's theme celebrates the LGBT+ community's contributions to the field of #Medicine. 🌈🔬 Arguably one of the community's biggest impacts was in the development of modern #PatientAdvocacy, a topic we discussed with Neil Bertelsen as he relayed the story of how HIV patients shaped a whole new approach to patient/regulator engagement. "What happened in those last years of the 1980s was something that we hadn’t seen before: a genuine coming together of both the medical community and the patient community, where we became hand-in-glove, basically learning at the same speed." We stand on the shoulders of these giants 🙏 Learn more about how HIV patients became the architects of modern patient advocacy here 👇https://hubs.li/Q02jtNd-0 #LGBTPlusHistory #UnderTheScope

Today, on National HIV and Aging Awareness Day, we reflect on research presented by Alexandra M. Bonnet, LMSW, and Dr. Rodolfo R. Vega, PhD with Waves Ahead at #2023USCHA. They shared that despite higher than average education and medical insurance coverage and little to no language barrier or discrimination, 264 older LGBTQ+ survey participants living with #HIV in #PuertoRico face steep gaps in other quality of life indicators, including - unmet medical needs ranging from mental health services, breast and prostate exams, pap smears, oncology, physical disability care, and gender-affirming care; - almost half living off of less than $15,000 a year; and - 1 in 5 people live in unstable housing. As people age, their social conditions, bodies, and needs change, and their services should change with them. Integrated, accessible, #person-centered care is a must as people age with HIV. #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth #LGBTQ #HealthEquity #mentalhealth #elder #USCHA2023 #JSIatUSCHA2023

Open Briefing worth keeping in mind….

Did you know that discrimination hinders access to HIV care for millions worldwide? This Zero Discrimination Day, let's commit to breaking down these barriers and ensuring everyone has the right to health. Discrimination against marginalized communities, including women, girls, and LGBTQ+ individuals, remains a significant obstacle to achieving health equity. These harmful practices violate fundamental rights and impede access to essential HIV services. This year, let's take action: Uphold the rights of all individuals. Advocate for the removal of discriminatory laws and policies. Stand with marginalized communities in their fight for equality. Support organizations working towards health equity. Everyone has the right to health. Let's make it happen! #ZeroDiscriminationDay #HumanRights #HealthForAll #TogetherWeCan #EndAIDS #StandUpForEquality #UN #UNAIDS #HealthEquity #HealthEquality #CulturalHumility 🇺🇳

In the 1980s, during the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, many countries imposed lifetime bans on blood donations from transgender individuals and MSM (men who have sex with men).   According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), transgender individuals are about 13 times more likely to be HIV-positive than the general adult population. In regions like Asia and the Pacific, transgender women disproportionately represent 7% of new HIV infections.    World Blood Donor Day calls attention to the importance of safe blood donations and the need to end discriminatory donor eligibility criteria, fostering a more inclusive and efficient global blood donation network.  https://lnkd.in/dXGEGzAn #WorldBloodDonorDay #HIVAwareness #AIDSEpidemic #TransgenderHealth #BloodDonation #LGBTQ #EndDiscrimination #Healthcare #WHO #BloodDonations #Health #Awareness #Equality #Support #Community #GlobalHealth #Indiaspend
