Most HIV prevention education uses language that assumes gender identity, and social sex roles, leaving transgendered persons to face significant barriers accessing prevention information relevant to their lifestyle. For transgendered persons with HIV, discrimination can lead to lack of access to needed health care. Health care providers need to adjust their practices to include all the components of sexual identity. Education is required to improve medical providers' and frontline service staff's cultural competence in the care of transgendered persons. Come and hear the stories of transgendered people to see how you can work to eliminate barriers faced by this fragile population.
