Biomedical needs of trans people that uses drugs in relation to HIV.pdf

Description

This online-event was organized by EuroNPUD, the regional drug user rights network in the European Union and its neighbouring countries. ( https://www.euronpud.net/ ):

"Join us for a small moment of virtual solidarity and learning, as we discuss service adaptation, specific needs when it comes to needle syringe provision (aka NSP), and interactions between HRT and other drugs, more specifically the pharmacokinetics of trans people.

The rights of trans people and drug users have been under increasing attack from harmful government policy and violence driven by misinformation campaigns influenced by scare mongering and prohibitionist rhetoric. Intersectional issues such as access to healthcare, labour rights and freedom from criminalisation experienced in our daily lives lead us to champion the need for organising and acts of solidarity."

Words Matter HIV Toolkit 2020.pdf

Documents

Description

"WHY THIS TOOLKIT MATTERS
Words Are Tools That Have The Power To Destroy Stigma
Words evolve into the language we use to communicate. Language can be used to create spaces where
people feel safe, comfortable, and supported including through personal and difficult conversations.
Language is a powerful tool in disrupting bias and stigma as well as facilitating healing.
It is important to eliminate HIV stigma because when people are afraid of experiencing discrimination
they are less likely to be tested or treated for HIV. Additionally, treating individuals living with HIV
differently can negatively affect their ability to secure life’s necessities like housing, employment, medical
care, and necessary social support." (p. 1)

National Black Justice Coalition (NBJV):
"Since 2003, NBJC has been America’s leading national civil rights organization dedicated to the empowerment of Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer+, and same gender loving (LGBTQ+/SGL) people, including people living with HIV/AIDS through coalition building, federal policy change, research, and education. Our mission is to end racism, homophobia, and LGBTQ+/SGL bias and stigma. Now known as the National Black Justice Collective, NBJC supports Black individuals, families, and communities in strengthening the bonds and bridging the gaps between the movements for racial justice and LGBTQ+/SGL equity. We envision a world where all people are fully empowered to participate safely, openly, and honestly in family, faith, and community, regardless of race, class, gender identity, or sexual orientation." https://nbjc.org/

Description

"This report outlines the key challenges faced by Black
people living with HIV in London when accessing
primary care and explores opportunities for improving
the quality of the care they receive. As HIV is a longterm
health condition, there needs to be a positive
relationship between people living with HIV and all
healthcare providers to support continued engagement
with care. Through analysing responses from our
survey completed by 142 Black-heritage respondents
living with HIV in London, we identify what must change
to ensure greater satisfaction with primary care and
improved engagement with GP surgeries.
The findings underline the need for culturally competent
care, increased patient-provider trust, and further
accessible resources to improve health literacy." (p. 3)

Description

"MOSAIC’s objective is to accelerate introduction and scale-up of new biomedical prevention products and expedite their
availability, acceptance, uptake, and impact in PEPFAR programmes to help individuals, especially women — including
transgender women and people assigned female at birth — protect themselves from acquiring HIV and other infectious
diseases. MOSAIC works across multiple countries to implement user-centred research to understand and remove barriers
to new product introduction, access, and use; provide technical assistance to global, national, and subnational stakeholders
to expedite product launch and scale-up; and strengthen the capacity of a wide range of local partners to perform essential
functions that support the introduction of HIV prevention products. A critical component of MOSAIC work is supporting end
users of PrEP products to make informed decisions about HIV prevention options and to access and effectively use their chosen
method(s). Empowering end users with the knowledge, skills, and agency to discuss sexual and reproductive health with their
peers, partners, families, and communities is key to normalising HIV prevention methods so that people can take charge of HIV
prevention for themselves."

Description

"This toolkit is a short guide to strategic communications, based on extensive research and building on the experience of activists and communicators from around the globe.

It aims to provide a framework rather than a blueprint; helping you to ask the right questions rather than giving you the right answers. It’s designed to be helpful for anyone who communicates as part of their voluntary or paid work. It’s written with a focus on European LGBTI activists, but we hope it will be useful to others with a similar vision." (https://www.ilga-europe.org/report/framing-equality-toolkit/)
