Continuing the crucial conversation from yesterday’s International Day to End Violence Against S*x Workers ( ).
Violence thrives in the shadows created by stigma and criminalization. Harm reduction shines a light by prioritizing immediate safety and survival.
Harm reduction isn't just about healthcare supplies; it is violence prevention. It looks like: ☂️ Peer-led "bad date" lists and community check-ins. ☂️ Access to judgment-free medical care and STI testing. ☂️ Safe spaces where workers aren't afraid of arrest when seeking help. ☂️ Widely available Naloxone (Narcan) and safer use supplies.
When we support harm reduction strategies, we are actively reducing the risks that lead to violence. Trust s*x workers to know what they need to be safe.

Beware the "Flu" Fake-Out
We often blame the freezing weather for every cough and ache, but winter provides the perfect camouflage for symptoms that need attention.

The Mask: Early stages of HIV (seroconversion), Syphilis, and Herpes are masters of disguise. They often show up as general "winter crud"—fevers, swollen glands, body aches, and fatigue.

The Trap: It is easy to say, "Oh, I just caught a chill waiting for the bus," and ignore it. This delays treatment and keeps you infectious.

The Strategy: If you come down with "the flu" shortly after a new hookup, don't just reach for the DayQuil. Be suspicious of the timing. Rule out STIs alongside the flu and COVID so you know exactly what you are fighting.

¿Sabías que "transgénero" es un término general?

Abarca a una amplia gama de personas cuya identidad de género no coincide con la que figura en su certificado de nacimiento. Esto incluye a: ✨ Hombres trans ✨ Mujeres trans ✨ Personas no binarias ✨ Personas de género fluido ✨ Personas agénero

Ser trans se trata de la libertad de definir quién eres, en lugar de dejar que la sociedad te defina basándose únicamente en la biología. Se trata de autenticidad. Se trata de autonomía. Se trata de alegría.

Today we celebrate the beautiful spectrum of attraction that looks beyond gender. Being Pans*xual means experiencing s*xual attraction to people regardless of their gender identity or biological s*x. Being Panromantic means experiencing romantic attraction to people regardless of gender.

While they often go together, they are distinct identities! The common thread? It’s about the person, not the gender. It’s loving hearts, not parts.

To everyone in the community: We see you, we validate you, and we celebrate you today and every day.

Hacerse una prueba de VIH no se trata solo de conocer tu estado serológico, sino de sentirte seguro, recibir atención y conectar contigo mismo.
🧠 La tranquilidad mental te permite concentrarte en el placer, la intimidad y la confianza.
❤️ Hacerse la prueba demuestra amor propio y respeto por tu pareja.
🌈 Al normalizar las pruebas de VIH, rompemos el estigma y construimos comunidades más saludables.
Incorpora la prueba a tu rutina. Porque el mejor s*xo es seguro, consensuado y sin preocupaciones.
