BREAKING: We are asking a federal court to block a Trump administration rule that would end medically necessary care for transgender teens whose families rely on Medicaid. We’re urging the court to act before the rule takes effect on October 13 and protect the care that helps these kids thrive.

Decades of medical progress have advanced care options for those with HIV – but stigma continues to shape who feels safe getting tested, accessing prevention tools like PrEP, and receiving ongoing care. We believe ending that stigma is part of the broader fight for equality.
