Knowledge Thirsty Thursdays: A Closer Look: Transgender Health and STBBIs (Sexually Transmitted and Blood Borne Infections) (Part 2 of 3)
June 15, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Transgender people are a key population identified in Canada’s Pan-Canadian Sexually Transmitted and Blood-borne Infections Framework for Action due to the impacts of stigma, discrimination, and systemic health disparities they experience. Transgender people face specific challenges in access to healthcare that result in poorer health and greater risk of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infection (STBBIs), as well as mental health issues, addiction, and suicide. They are also often targets of violence and discrimination. As a result, understanding and responding to the needs of the transgender population is essential to combat these issues and ensure equitable access to health care and support.
Join us for this 3-part series focused on transgender health and STBBIs. This Knowledge Thirsty Thursday’s series will further your understanding of gender, explore why this population is considered a key population under Canada’s Pan-Canadian Sexually Transmitted and Blood-borne Infections Framework for Action, and learn more about the existing public health limitations that impact service provisions for this community.
June 15 – Part 2: Understanding Barriers to Care.
Discover why transgender people are disproportionately impacted by STBBIs in Canada and what you can do to support health and prevention efforts for the community. We will explore what the research says and how social determinants of health impact trans people specifically. This discussion will identify the barriers transgender people face in accessing health care and social services and discuss ways to further inclusive and effective health prevention measures.
