New Public Service Announcement Targeting A&PI Transgender Communities

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/131002.php
11/27/2008

The PSA is the first of its kind to specifically address transgender women-particularly in the A&PI community-who are at higher risk for HIV infection and face discrimination for being transgender, of color, or both. Discrimination and stigma affect access to HIV testing and treatment; shame prevents healthy, open discussions about safer-sex choices. This community is often overlooked, and many of the outreach and prevention programs servicing transgender women are in danger of dissolution due to state and local funding cuts. This PSA is one way to continue the dialogue with an underserved, high-risk community in this historically unprecedented economic environment.
