Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, & Non-Binary People

How Can GMHC Help?

HIV disproportionately affects transgender people, with infection rates up to three times higher than the national average. This disparity owes to many factors including barriers to accessing health services and insurance, as well as discrimination, harassment, transphobia, and stigma.

We provide a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space for transgender, gender nonconforming, and non-binary people (TGNCNB). In addition to comprehensive services available to all our clients, we offer targeted programs to address the needs of TGNCNB people.

Programs include:

The TransEquity Health Program supports transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary (TGNCNB) communities of color with holistic health services, peer leadership training, and HIV/STI prevention and care. Through workshops, peer-led discussions, and guest speakers, participants build knowledge around PrEP, HIV treatment, and harm reduction while addressing stigma and barriers to care. The program creates affirming spaces that celebrate TGNCNB identities through group outings and advocacy opportunities, centering equity and lived experience to reduce health disparities and promote community well-being.

In addition to these programs, we lead workshops for TGNCNB people on how to articulate and advocate for their needs including healthcare access, sexual health education, and reproductive rights.
