In 1965, when he was 17, Perry Brass hitchhiked from Savannah to San Francisco where he spent a year living on the street, sleeping between parked cars or in SRO hotels, doing any job he could, and loving the freedom of it.After Perry moved to New York, Perry joined New York's groundbreaking Gay Liberation Front in 1969 and the staff of Come Out!, the first Gay Liberation newspaper. His poetry was published in many “gay firsts,” including The Penguin Book of Homosexual Verse, the first mainstream collection of queer poetry. He has since published 23 books, most recently “My Life without Money and other poems.”In 1972, Perry and two friends started the Gay Men's Health Project Clinic, the first clinic for gay men on the East Coast, still active as New York's Callen-Lorde Community Health Center. The Gay Men's Health Project Clinic, organized and run by the men who used it rather than by doctors, became the model for many grass-roots health organizations in the gay community.

“Nobody goes into adolescent medicine or into a field of medicine that serves adolescent patients because it's simple and straightforward, right?” In May 2024, the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute Clinical Guidelines Program published an update to the guidelines, “Guidance: Adolescent Consent to HIV and STI Treatment and Prevention.” These guidelines serve to inform New York State clinicians who provide primary care to adolescents about existing regulations that allow minors to consent for and receive confidential HIV and STI screening, treatment, and prevention. In this episode, Dr. Erica Bostick chats with Dr. Uri Belkind, Associate Medical Director for Adolescent Medicine and Clinical Director of the Health Outreach to Teens (HOTT) program at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in New York City, and original lead author of these guidelines. Drs. Bostick and Belkind discuss the intricacies of providing confidential HIV and STI care to adolescents, perspectives on how to navigate sexual health conversations with patients and a trusted adult, resources on confidential adolescent healthcare for general providers, and more!

This episode, Long-Acting Injectable PrEP and HIV Treatment, is the second in a three-episode series about new evidence-based strategies for addressing HIV and AIDS.Guests featured in this episode:Jeremiah JohnsonProgram ManagerPrep4All Amy Killelea, J.D., Killelea Consulting Aviva Cantor, PA-C, AAHIVS, PhD, Callen-Lorde Community Health CenterModerator: Alexandra Walker, Digital Communications Director, NACHCAlexandra: Hello and welcome to Health Centers on the Frontlines, the podcast of the National Association of Community Health Centers. Today is the second in a three-episode series we're doing about an epidemic that the nation's health centers have been battling for decades: HIV and AIDS. During these episodes, we're sharing promising news about how community health centers, health center controlled networks and primary care associations are employing the latest strategies to link people to ongoing HIV prevention, treatment, and care services. Today, we're happy to be joined by a panel of experts, Jeremiah Johnson, who is the Program Manager at Prep4All, an organization of professionals and patients based in New York City who advocate for greater access to lifesaving medication for HIV. Also joining us is Amy Killelea, JD, an expert in policy, medication access, and health care financing to develop sustainable HIV and Hepatitis programs. And Dr. Aviva Cantor, HIV specialist and primary care provider at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, which serves New York City's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities. So in late 2021, the US public was introduced to a bi-monthly injectable form of PrEP, which stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. Taken in pill form and now also available as an injectable this medication reduces the chance of getting HIV from sex or injection drug use. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV, a landmark push to end the HIV epidemic. At the same time, people living with HIV have been introduced to a monthly injectable form of treatment that similarly puts them in charge of their healthcare needs without having to remind themselves to take a daily oral medication. This is revolutionizing the field of treatment and prevention of HIV because we never have had a form of either that was this long lasting. Also, it's exciting news because it expands the number of tools we have in our hands to fight HIV. Health centers have been taking their first steps in implementing these tools. So, starting with our health center guest. Aviva, can you explain to our audience the two types of injectable antiretroviral medication? We've heard that one can be used as PrEP for people who are HIV negative and the other as an HIV treatment for people who are living with HIV. Can you tell us about the similarities and differences?Aviva: Sure. Yeah. So the two medications and we use brand names here. I normally don't like to use brand names, but we'll use them so that they're more clear for patients in the community. So one is called Cabenuva. That's the medication that's used for HIV treatment. And the other is called Apretude. That is the medication that's used for HIV prevention. What they both have in common are that they are both what I describe to patients and my colleagues as deep intramuscular injections. So they're a little different than your regular intramuscular injections. They have to be done by nurses who have been trained just a little bit differently to make sure they do it the right way. So they're both these deep intramuscular injections. They're actually both now available as bi-monthly or every-two-month injections. They actually sort of follow the same schedule where you're given your initial injection, you're given one one month later as a loading dose, and then you take an injection every two months, every eight weeks, essentially. The big difference between these medications is, first of all, for HIV treatment (Cabenuva), it's two (injections;) it's a combination of two medications. So it's two separate injections, one in each buttock (one medication in each buttock). For HIV treatment, for Apretude, for prevention, it's just the one injection in one buttock.Alexandra: Yeah, that's a good first start. We can get back to some of those issues in more depth. Jeremiah, drawing from your experience as a community member and advocate, what do you think is important for the community health centers that we represent around the country to know and consider as they see these new options for prevention and treatment?Jeremiah: Yeah, happy to talk about that. Thanks for having me on the podcast today. And really, you know, I think, Dr. Cantor, you really set us up really well because I think you clearly have a clear sort of centering of your patients and the way that you're sort of talking about things. Because I think one of the first things that I'll say about long acting injectable is it is exciting. I also, as a community advocate, am very cognizant of the price issue with this, so when you're looking at $22,500 a year for Apretude compared to less than $20 a month for generic TDF FTC (Tenofovir/emtricitabine) or generic Truvada, this is going to be a complicated intervention to get to people. And I do worry as a community advocate, given that there's such important adherence requirements if you're going to be on this, that, you know, community health centers are checking with patients and really making sure that they're not going to run into any sort of unexpected coverage issues or anything that's going to interrupt their ability to continue with their treatment in terms of all of this. And so, you know, one thing that I like to put out there at these sorts of conversations is that, you know, sometimes I think we get really excited about the new modality. We get excited about the new way to sort of put things out there and forget the old classics, you know, and in this case, we have, you know, new sort of access to these generic medications that can be more nimble in a complicated health care system to get to people and we can be more creative in terms of getting that out to people. And so, you know, one thing that we're working a lot here at PrEP4all right now is to try and build a national PrEP program calling for a federal program with centralized reimbursement of laboratory costs and medications, particularly for uninsured and underinsured individualsAlexandra: Thank you. Some really good points there. I want to turn it to Amy. As health centers consider delivering these services, what are the financial or policy hurdles that they need to be aware of?Amy: Yeah. So I think this is a really good question. And, and, you know, the short answer is that there are a lot. So, I think the first one is that, and this has been mentioned several times, the price of the drug and combined with the fact that it is a provider- administered injectable product, so that is just a different administration route than the vast majority of the antiretrovirals that are available right now. And those two things, both apart and combined, do, I think, add some complexity to the finances and the procurement and delivery of both Apretude and Cabenuva. And I'm going to go through some of these challenges and note throughout that the challenges are different depending on what population you're talking about, whether the population is insured or uninsured. So I'm going to try to underscore what some of those differences look like. And, you know, the number one piece and to sort of tie this to specifically for community health centers, so that the price of both drugs was raised, and it is, you know, pretty, it could be higher. Right? But in the grand scheme of things, over $22,000 a year for a list price for an ARV is in the upper threshold of ARVs that are available for HIV treatment and prevention, so it's not an insignificant list price. If we talk about community health centers and their status as 340B entities, there is a discount available to purchase that drug for your uninsured population, and yet even with the discount, the price is still fairly significant. So that's an important factor as community health centers look at budgeting and programmatic decisions on both routes, on both Apretude and Cabenuva. And when we talk about the insured, I think even now when these products have been on the market and available in the case of Apretude for, you know, a little less than a year and for Cabenuva longer than that, we still have sort of complexity challenges and, and murkiness, I would say, with regard to payer behavior for insured clients.You know, on the PrEP side, we don't have a U.S. Preventive Services Task Force grade for long-acting Cabotegravir. The grade A that we have is based on the oral products for PrEP. We are waiting for a USPSTF grade and that would carry with it a requirement that the vast majority of payers cover long-acting Cabotegravir/Apretude without cost sharing.Alexandra: Thank you. Would you like to add to that in terms of considerations that other community health centers who are considering offering these should factor in?Aviva: Yeah, I mean, Amy brought up a lot of things that we are currently dealing with. I present on PrEP and on long-acting medications for PrEP and HIV a lot. And I have this slide (Slide 1) that shows how incredibly excited we are for these medications to be here. And then the next slide (Slide 2) is just total chaos because that's what it feels like. It's sort of like, “Hold up, wait, yes we're excited, but let's be realistic about this.” This is really hard. It's really hard right now.

What Does HIPAA Actually Do? HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is name dropped a lot, but frequently misunderstood. Many are surprised to find that the “P” stands for portability, not privacy.  Misunderstandings about what's protected under the law go way deeper than its name. The law outlines protections only for health information shared between patients and health care providers. This means that any personal health data shared with someone who is not specifically mentioned in the law is not covered.  If a period tracking app shares personal health information with Facebook, that's not a violation of HIPAA. Neither is asking for someone's vaccination status.  Guest host Maddie Sofia talks with Tara Sklar, professor of health law and director of the Health Law & Policy Program at the University of Arizona, to explain what's actually covered under HIPAA.   “Research By Us And For Us”: How Medical Research Can Better Serve Trans Communities Trans medical care isn't new or experimental, and study after study has shown that transition-related procedures—such as hormone therapies and surgeries—are incredibly safe and effective. But most long-term studies on trans health focus on the first few years after transitioning, leaving unanswered questions about the years after. Similar to members of other marginalized groups, trans people have long been treated like “case studies,” rather than potential experts when it comes to scientific research. So while researchers have studied trans bodies for decades, they haven't always asked trans people what they need to know about their own bodies, such as: If I'm pursuing medical transition, how will my bone density change after years of taking estrogen? If I take testosterone, will I also need to get a hysterectomy? How will my hormonal and surgical options affect my fertility?  Now, a new wave of medical research—led by trans medical experts themselves—is trying to fill in those blanks and address the needs of trans communities. Guest host Maddie Sofia speaks with Dr. Asa Radix, the senior director of research and education at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, and Dallas Ducar, nurse practitioner and founding CEO of Transhealth Northampton. They talk about the state of research on trans health, and how studies can better address the needs of the trans and gender diverse communities.   Food Pantry Venison May Contain Lead Iowa requires warning labels about the possible presence of lead in shot-harvested venison. Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska do not. A walk-in freezer about two stories high sits in one corner of a warehouse owned by a food bank called Hawkeye Area Community Action Program Inc. in Hiawatha, Iowa. Chris Ackman, the food bank's communication manager, points to the shelving racks where any donated venison the organization receives is typically stored. Known as the Help Us Stop Hunger, or HUSH, program, the venison is donated by hunters from around the state, and Ackman says the two-pound tubes of ground meat go pretty quickly, lasting only a few months. “It's a pretty critical program, I think, because there are a lot of hunters in Iowa,” he said. “And, it's well enjoyed by a lot of families as well.” Similar programs around the country have been applauded as a way for hunters to do something they enjoy while also helping feed those in need. Iowa hunters donate around 3,500 deer a year through the program. From the hunters, the deer goes to a meat locker, where it's ground, packaged and shipped off to food pantries around the state. But before it hits the shelves, Iowa officials require a warning label on the venison package. The label reads: “Lead fragments may be found in processed venison. Children under 6 years and pregnant women are at the greatest risk from lead.” Then, in bold type, the label notes: “Iowa has not found cases of lead poisoning from lead in venison,” along with a number to call for more information. Iowa stands out among Midwestern states in requiring a label warning about the potential hazard of lead ammunition and the fragments it can leave behind in shot-harvested game meat like venison. Donated venison in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska come with no similar warning label. Read more at sciencefriday.com. Museum Exhibit Celebrates Queerness In Science Last year, the California Academy of Sciences debuted “New Science: The Academy Exhibit,” which celebrates 23 incredible LGBTQIA+ scientists. The folks in this exhibit are challenging the exclusionary practices that are all too common in scientific spaces, with the aim of creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment. It is a celebration of queerness in science. Guest host Maddie Sofia talks with the curator of this exhibit, Lauren Esposito, who is a curator of arachnology at the California Academy of Sciences and founder of 500 Queer Scientists, based in San Francisco. They discuss the exhibit, the importance of LGBTQIA+ representation in STEM, and, of course, arachnids. The exhibit is free and open to the public at the California Academy of Sciences, and it is also available online.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs at sciencefriday.com.

Dr. Yarbrough is also Board Certified in Addiction Medicine and is the author of Transgender Mental Health, a book which seeks to educate mental health clinicians on how to address the needs of the transgender, non-conforming community and thus increase their access to mental health care. LGBTQ+ Therapy focuses on mental health issues related to an individual’s sexual or gender identity and addresses mental distress caused by the oppression, marginalization, and discrimination that may occur when coming out to family members, adjusting to a person’s authentic identity, and dealing with family pressures and expectations. A LGBTQ+ informed therapist can help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and substance use. According to the research, youth who identify as LGBTQ+ have an increased risk of self-harm and suicidal ideation, especially when they are faced with discrimination. In school, students who identify as LGBTQ+ are bullied, victimized, and rejected by their peers, which can lead to mental distress. LGBTQ+ adults may also experience similar persecution at their workplace, schools, and housing. These stressors may be the catalyst for LGBTQ+ individuals to seek mental health treatment.

How and where do transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) people find good mental healthcare? And how can psychotherapists and other mental health professionals become competent in this kind of care? Furthermore, what are the most important mental health issues faced by TGNC people? These are some of the questions with which TGNC people grapple regularly, and they motivated Dr. Eric Yarbrough to write his new book, Transgender Mental Health (2018, American Psychiatric Association). In our interview, we discuss what it means to be transgender and gender non-conforming, the importance of understanding the gender spectrum, and what gender-affirming mental health treatment looks like. We also address practical questions about how to find good care and what clinicians need to know in order to practice competently. This long-awaited book furthers our understanding about key issues for TGNC people and is a must-read for anyone, client or therapist, engaged with TGNC mental healthcare.

Taking hormones can be a huge part of starting transition, but how does one get HRT? In this episode we answer a listener question from Mia who asks "I want to get on hormones, but am having trouble figuring out how to get access to hormones? Who can I talk to about this?"  If you are in the greater NYC area, check out Callen-Lorde Community Health Center. Planned Parenthood also provides HRT services among other important health care work. You can also search for transgender health care providers here. Our first episode with Dr. HD of Hormones Demystfied has a lot of good info on HRT. Check out the Center for Transgender Health which has a page on the Transgender Standards of Care. (And a clarification regarding psychologists and prescriptions: in some states, psychologists can prescribe  medications. However, it's only for medications that treat psychiatric conditions, not HRT.)   Support us on Patreon to help us keep making great content, and to get some cool rewards—like drinks with us at Stonewall Inn!

We don't always know what gender transition will bring?  Sure, we can anticipate HRT, coming out, a new wardrobe, maybe even surgeries. But what about those things that we just can't anticipate that throw us a bit of a curveball during transition? In this episode, transgirl Faith tells about some surprising things she discovered about herself and the world during transition.  In this episode we mention Callen Lorde Community Health Center, an LGBTQ health center in NYC that provides care regardless of ability to pay. They do amazing, sorely needed work for vulnerable communities.   Also be sure and check out our episode on Coming Out at Work.  Support us on Patreon to help us keep making great content, and to get some cool rewards-- like drinks with us at Stonewall Inn!

Date: September 12, 2013 Featuring: Nancy Oriol, MD, Dean of Students, Harvard Medical School; Co-Principal Investigator, Mobile Health Map; Co-Founder, Family Van, Boston, MA Leonel Lacayo, MD, Gastroenterologist, Glenwood Hospital; Co-Founder, Health Hut, Ruston, LA Anthony Vavasis, MD, Director of Medicine, Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, New York City, NY; Co-Principal Investigator, Mobile Health Map; Board Chair, Mobile Health Clinics Association Jennifer Bennet, BA, Executive Director, Family Van and Mobile Health Map Niñon Lewis, MS, Director, Triple Aim Initiatives, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Cambridge, MA  What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you spot a mobile health clinic? Good people, probably volunteering their time, traveling to underserved neighborhoods to offer screenings, health education, and some helpful, friendly guidance on where to go for anything more serious or chronic that should be checked out? If this is your impression, it’s fairly accurate. Except for one thing. Nowadays, more and more mobile health vans are an integral part of the health care system… especially in cities and communities where traditional bricks-and-mortar health care services are linking up with innovative community outreach programs that, together, can better manage population health.With that as a backdrop, we hit the (virtual) road with some of the leading innovators and researchers who are injecting new fuel and purpose into more than 2,000 mobile health clinics across the US. They’re doing this by mapping what’s taking place at a range of health clinics mounted on wheels, and also by carefully investigating health issues that can be impacted and maybe even better addressed by a mobile health van. If we’re serious about improving population health, it’s critical to look hard at what’s already “out there” that’s working or helping, and then determine how to strengthen its role. Mobile health clinics are increasingly one such trusted and effective resource in many communities. WIHI host Madge Kaplan and IHI’s Ninon Lewis invite you to find out the latest on mobile clinics from an expert panel of clinicians and researchers on the forefront of the issue.

  Aron Janssen is a doctor but he doesn't play one on TV.

Andrew Johnston, RDH: I am a Registered Dental Hygiene graduate from the Yakima Valley Community College Dental Hygiene Program in 2009. I hold three degrees including a Bachelors Degree in Business Management and currently working towards my MBA. First and foremost, I am a husband and a father to my wife and three children. When I have time to get away, I regularly lecturer at dental hygiene programs throughout the USA. I also speak at dental hygiene societies and associations. In 2013, I was asked to be a faculty member for DDS - Dental Development Seminars. My role includes mentoring and instructing dental professionals in technique driven delivery of local anesthetic. As the only hygienist on the faculty, I focus on being a liason between the dentists and hygienists to build trust and understanding between the two groups by helping ensure competency, accuracy, and confidence in the hygienist attendees.   I also write, blog, and am a regular contributor on Hygienetown.com. I write articles for a number of publishings including my own blog http://andrewjohnstonrdh.blogspot.com. I am a regular panel member for Mark Frias' roundtable discussions and have been interviewed by Dr. Howard Farran for his Dentaltown podcast. In the future, I hope to be lecturing at regional and national conferences on my local anesthesia review course. My "Charitable Dentistry" lecture is a compilation of many years of mission trips and charity work throughout the world. I have volunteered my time and efforts with local programs such as the Union Gospel Mission's dental office, YVCC sealant days, the Boy Scouts of America, and as a coach for the local parks and rec teams. Nationally, I have consulted for dental teams and offices interested in learning how to participate in charitable ventures. I provide research that is specific to the desires of the team at no charge to them. Internationally, I have been on mission trips in the Philippines, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic.   Linda Douglas, RDH: Linda M Douglas graduated as a dental hygienist from the Royal Dental Hospital in London, England in 1982. After graduation she worked in periodontology before moving to Toronto, Canada where she has worked in private practice since 1990. Her desire to support patients with eating disorders has instigated in-depth study of eating disorders, and its effect on oral health.   Daniel Lopez, RDH: Daniel Lopez is a dental hygienist currently working at the Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in New York.  He has extensive training in the management and treatment of HIV/AIDs patients.
