- Prioritizing the Whole Health of Black, Transgender Women through Bundled Interventions and Gender-Affirming Care
This interactive workshop shares Positive Impact Health Centers (PIHC) process for creating improved HIV and whole person outcomes for Black transwomen. PIHC was a site for the Black Women First Initiative (BWFI) a Health Resources Service Administration (HRSA)-funded multi-site project providing bundled evidence-informed interventions: intensive case management, trauma-informed behavioral health, DV/IPV support and trans-specific services (TransLife Care). PIHC made service delivery enhancements (TWIST intervention, cosmetology or medical assistant school enrollment, name and gender-marker change assistance, community dinners and drop-in center) that yielded remarkable improvement. - Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges: Combination HIV Prevention for Black Women
13% of U.S. women, Black women, carry 54% of HIV diagnoses (2021). Traditional methods fall short, failing Black women due to systemic barriers, research gaps, and stigma. This workshop empowers change: combination HIV prevention. We’ll explore challenges, dissect limitations, and unveil the transformative power of weaving multiple strategies for maximum impact. Clear explanations, practical models, and real-world examples equip you with knowledge, tools, and inspiration to advocate for cis and trans Black women’s health and ignite an HIV prevention revolution.
