Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to tackle potential health inequalities experienced by trans people after they have been diagnosed HIV positive.
The Government is committed to achieving zero new HIV transmissions in England by 2030, as well as tackling stigma and health inequalities that exist around HIV. Issues related to health inequalities and stigma experienced by trans and non-binary communities will be considered as we develop our Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy and HIV Action Plan, which we plan to publish in 2021.
