""Since working with the TransThrive team, there has been a clear need for folks to have low-barrier access to STI testing, and to prevention and treatment methods. With everything going on politically right now, increasing fear, and additional challenges with getting connected to care, we want to be here for people who haven't had a space like this and provide care that is explicitly trans-affirming.""
""Trans people have always faced barriers to care, to recognition, to simply being seen. What is happening right now at the federal level is an attempt to erase trans people from public life, healthcare, and existence itself. That is not something we can stand by and watch. While we fight in the courts, we are also deepening our commitment on the ground through the TransThrive clinic.""
The TransThrive clinic, opened on April 16, 2026, provides essential healthcare services for transgender and gender-expansive individuals. Operated by the San Francisco Community Health Center, it aims to address the barriers faced by these communities in accessing care. Services include STI testing, HIV prevention, gender-affirming care, and complex care coordination. The clinic's opening coincided with National Transgender HIV Testing Day, emphasizing its commitment to providing trans-affirming healthcare amidst increasing political challenges.
