Our mission at APLA Health is to end the HIV epidemic. Unfortunately, in LA County, our transgender family members are disproportionately impacted by new HIV infections.
Through Trans Connections, we are also able to provide one-on-one support for transgender people of color in a holistic way. We know you have to listen,respect, and validate all aspects of a person’s life in order to ensure the best health and prevent HIV.
But we are more than medical providers for our transgender community; we are advocates for the transgender community. We know our role is not to speak on their behalf, but rather to provide a microphone to amplify their voices. To the transgender individuals for whom we work to ensure you are not alone: we support you and we stand against discrimination.
