Misinformation and biased legislation across the country leads to implicit bias towards transgender youth. Information in many medical schools still contains many inaccurate assumptions and teaching around LGBTQ+ care in general and the connection of HIV status with the LGBTQ+ community. At the third installment in the UCSF Fresno Health Equity Symposium series, clinicians will be exposed to gender affirming care for this population: What it is and how crucial it is to gender expansive and transgender youth.
