LGBTQ+ Health- Addressing Specific Needs in Comprehensive Hemophilia Care
Description
In this episode, we address the critical intersections of LGBTQ+ health and hemophilia care. Delving into the historical links with the HIV crisis, we scrutinize the disparities in care access, the mental health implications, and the unique challenges faced during transition to independent care. We discuss the intricacies of prophylactic drug regimens, vaccines, and the hemophilic bleeding risk related to LGBTQ+ sexual health. With insights into gender-affirming care, reproductive counseling, and knowledge gaps, we provide a comprehensive perspective tailored for physicians and clinicians aiming for holistic patient care.
