California just voted to protect trans refugees from extradition! SB107 passes 60-19! This protects trans youth from being extradited back to Texas/Florida/ETC fleeing prosecution for gender affirming care. It also gives trans teens recourse if their parents refuse care.

Hasina Subedar 🇿🇦 reflects on DSD for PrEP in #SouthAfrica at #AIDS2022: "With HIV self-testing, more PrEP users can manage themselves. And now in South Africa, after one month on PrEP, PrEP users are eligible for three-monthly PrEP refills and this is a game changer for us."
