ʻOiaʻiʻo: ʻAʻole i loaʻa i ka hapa nui o nā mea mālama olakino ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa mākaukau LGBTQ, a no laila ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hāʻawi i ka mālama LGBTQ-inclusive. Hōʻike nā noiʻi e nā hui hoʻolaha i ka 56 pākēneka o ka poʻe LGBTQ i hoʻokae ʻē ʻia i ka wā e ʻimi ana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, ʻoi aku ma mua o 20 pākēneka hōʻike e kū nei i ka ʻōlelo paʻakikī a i ʻole ka pili kino i makemake ʻole ʻia i nā hoʻonohonoho mālama olakino. ʻOi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o kēia mau pākēneka no nā poʻe pila BIPOC, e like me ka nānā ʻana a ka Center for American Progress.

He hopena koʻikoʻi kēia mau stats kaumaha i ke olakino kino a me ka noʻonoʻo a me ka lōʻihi o ka poʻe i ke kaiāulu queer - a ʻaʻole lākou e hana i kekahi mea e hoʻoponopono ai i ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka poʻe queer no nā mea e pili ana i ka pepehi kanaka, ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lāʻau, nā maʻi i hoʻouna ʻia i ke kāne, ka hopohopo a me ke kaumaha, cardiovascular. maʻi, a me ka maʻi ʻaʻai.

ʻO ia ke kumu o ka hoʻolana ʻana o kahi lawelawe lawelawe olakino i kūkulu ʻia e nā poʻe queer no ka poʻe queer, he mea nui ia. Hoʻolauna: FOLX.

He aha ka FOLX?

"ʻO FOLX ka mua loa o LGBTQIA e pili ana i ka pae olakino olakino ma ka honua," wahi a A.G. Breitenstein, ka mea hoʻokumu a me ka Luna Nui o FOLX, nāna i hoʻomaopopo he genderqueer (ʻo ia / lākou). E noʻonoʻo e pili ana iā FOLX ma kahi o OneMedical no ke kaiāulu ʻoi loa.

ʻAʻole mālama ʻo FOLX i kahu nui. No laila, ʻaʻole lākou ka mea āu e hele ai inā he ʻeha kou ʻāʻī a manaʻo paha he COVID-19 paha ʻoe. Akā, hāʻawi lākou i ka mālama ma kahi o ʻekolu mau pou pono o ke olakino: ʻike, moekolohe, a me ka ʻohana. "ʻO FOLX ka mea āu e hele aku ai no ka hoʻōla hormonone, ke olakino a me ke olakino olakino, a kōkua me ka hana ʻohana," wehewehe ʻo Breitenstein. (E pili ana: ʻO kahi papa inoa o nā huaʻōlelo LGBTQ + āpau e ʻike ai)

Hāʻawi ʻo FOLX i ka hoʻāʻo a me ka mālama ʻana i ka STI ma ka home, nā hormones hōʻoia i ke kāne (aka hormone replacement therapy a i ʻole HRT), loaʻa iā PrEP (kahi lāʻau lapaʻau i kēlā me kēia lā e hiki ke hōʻemi i kou pilikia o ka loaʻa ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi), a me ka mālama erectile dysfunction a kākoʻo.

Loaʻa nā lawelawe o ka hui no nā mea ʻoi aku ma mua o 18 ka mea i ʻike ʻia he LGBTQ+ a ke ʻimi nei e loaʻa i ke ola kino, ʻike, a me ka mālama ʻohana e kahi mea mālama mālama. (ʻIke ʻo Breitenstein i ka hopena, manaʻo ʻo FOLX e hāʻawi i ka mālama keiki trans me ke alakaʻi a me ka ʻae ʻana o nā mākua.) Hāʻawi ʻia nā lawelawe ma o ke wikiō a i ʻole ke kamaʻilio pūnaewele, e pili ana i kou wahi e noho ai a me nā hoʻoponopono o kou mokuʻāina. Kaulana kēia no ka mea hāʻawi ia i ka poʻe LGBTQ i ke komo i ka mālama olakino launa aloha LGBTQ, ʻoiai lākou e noho ma kekahi wahi kēlā ʻaʻole ke ʻae nei.

ʻAʻole hāʻawi nā mea lawelawe kelepona ʻē aʻe i kēia?

ʻAʻole kekahi o nā mōhai lapaʻau FOLX i hou i ka honua o ka lāʻau. Akā, ʻo ka mea e hoʻokaʻawale ai iā FOLX ka hiki i nā mea maʻi ke hiki hōʻoiaʻiʻo e mālama lākou i kahi mea hoʻolako e hōʻoia ana, a hiki iā lākou ke hilinaʻi i nā kiʻi a i ʻole nā ​​ʻike i kākau ʻia (manaʻo: nā puke liʻiliʻi, nā hana noʻeau, a me nā mea kūʻai aku) ʻike lākou i ka hana pū ʻana me ia mea hoʻolako.

Eia hou, ʻokoʻa ke ʻano o ka hāʻawi ʻana o FOLX i kā lākou mālama: ʻO nā hui mālama ola kino kuʻuna, no ka laʻana, ke hāʻawi pololei nei i ka mea kūʻai aku, kūpono ma ka home STD pahu hōʻike no kekahi mau makahiki i kēia manawa. Akā kōkua ʻo FOLX iā ʻoe e ʻike i ke ʻano o ka hoʻāʻo e kūpono iā ʻoe e pili ana i ka moekolohe āu e hana ai. Inā, ʻo kahi laʻana, ʻo ka moekolohe a me ka moekolohe ka mea nui o kāu ola wahine, e koi paha nā mea hāʻawi FOLX i kahi waha a / a i ʻole anal swab - kahi hāʻawi i nā kime STD ma ka home āpau e hana ai ʻaʻole hāʻawi. (E pili ana: ʻAe, He mea nā STI waha: Eia ka mea e pono ai ʻoe e ʻike)

Pēlā nō, ʻo nā lawelawe telehealth e like me The Pill Club a me Nurx ua hana nui i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke komo ʻana o ka mana hānau ʻana ma o ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā koho pūnaewele me nā mea lapaʻau hiki ke kākau i nā ʻōlelo kuhikuhi contraceptive a hiki i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka mana hānau i kou puka. ʻO ka mea e hoʻolalelale ai ʻo FOLX, ʻo ia ka mea hiki i nā maʻi trans a me nā nonbinary makemake e pale i ka hāpai ʻana ke komo i kēlā mālama, me ka ʻike ʻana ʻaʻole lākou e hele alo me kahi kauka ʻike ʻole pehea e mālama ai i ko lākou ʻano a i ʻole ka ʻōlelo kāne kāne, kālepa, a i ʻole ke kiʻi. (Nūhou nui: ʻOiai ʻo FOLX wale nō ka paepae i hoʻolaʻa wale ʻia no ka lawelawe ʻana i ke kaiāulu LGBTQ +, ʻaʻole ʻo lākou wale nō ka mea e hana nei e hāʻawi i kahi ʻoi aku ka lawelawe i loko. ʻike a me nā mahele pronoun no nā kāne trans mua o ka HRT e nānā nei e hoʻomau a hoʻomaka i ka kaohi hānau.)

Hāʻawi ʻo Nurx, Plush Care, a me ka The Prep Hub iā ʻoe e kūʻai iā PrEP ma ka pūnaewele. A ʻoiai ʻo kēia mau hubs ʻē aʻe e hana nui i ka PrEP i loaʻa i nā kāne a pau (ʻaʻole nā ​​kāne cisgender wale nō!), ʻae ʻo FOLX i ka poʻe ʻimi leʻaleʻa e komo i ka PrEP ma o ka mea hoʻolako like lākou e komo ai i nā contraceptives a me ka hoʻāʻo STI, e maʻalahi loa ia. no ka poʻe e noho ma luna o ko lākou ola kino.

ʻAʻole makemake nā mea lawelawe mālama ola FOLX i nā kauka ʻē aʻe

Ua noʻonoʻo hou ʻo FOLX i ka pilina hoʻomanawanui-kauka. ʻAʻole like me nā mea hoʻolako ʻē aʻe nona ka helu hoʻokahi o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā maʻi, "ʻO ka mea nui o FOLX ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā lawelawe lapaʻau e kākoʻo ana iā ʻoe ʻo wai ʻoe, e hoʻolauleʻa ʻo wai ʻoe, a kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻokō i ka mea nui iā ʻoe e pili ana i ke kāne, ke kāne, a me ka ʻohana. " wehewehe ʻo Breitenstein. (Kahakaha: ʻAʻole hāʻawi ʻo FOLX i kēia manawa i kahi mālama pili i ka olakino noʻonoʻo. No kahi LGBTQ-hōʻoia hōʻoia i ka National Queer a me Trans Therapists o Color Network, ka ʻAhahui o LGBTQ Psychiatrists, a me ka Gay a me ka Lesbian Medical Association.)

Pehea e hāʻawi ai ʻo FOLX i ka mālama "hoʻolauleʻa," pololei? "Ma ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā hana maikaʻi a pau o ka mālama lapaʻau (ka maikaʻi, ʻike, ʻike i ka pilikia), akā i loko o kahi stigma-free, hilahila ʻole," wahi a lākou. A no ka mea ua aʻo ʻia kēlā me kēia mea hāʻawi FOLX pau loa ʻO ke kino a me waho o ke olakino queer a me ka trans, hiki i nā mea maʻi ke hilinaʻi e loaʻa iā lākou ka mālama pololei, holistic. (He mea kaumaha, ʻaʻole kēia ka mea maʻamau - hōʻike ka noiʻi ʻana he 53 pakeneka wale nō o nā kauka i hōʻike i ka hilinaʻi i ko lākou ʻike i nā pono olakino o nā maʻi LGB.)

ʻIke loa ka ʻōlinolino o ka hoʻolālā FOLX ke noʻonoʻo ʻoe i ke ʻano o nā mea maʻi e ʻimi nei i ke komo i nā homone hōʻoiaʻiʻo kāne. Hana ʻo FOLX ʻaʻole e hana me kahi hiʻohiʻona kiaʻi puka (kahi e pono ai ka poʻe makemake i ka HRT e kiʻi i kahi leka kuhikuhi mai kahi mea mālama olakino noʻonoʻo) ʻo ia ka mea maʻamau i nā wahi he nui, wehewehe ʻo Kate Steinle, NP, ka luna lapaʻau nui o FOLX a me ka luna o trans/non- mālama binary ma Planted Parenthood. Akā, "Hana ʻo FOLX ma muli o ka ʻae i ʻike ʻia," wahi a Steinle.

Eia ke ʻano o kēlā. Inā hoihoi ka mea maʻi i nā homone hōʻoiaʻiʻo kāne, e hōʻike lākou i ka nui ma ka palapala lawe maʻi, a e kaʻana like i ka helu o nā loli a lākou e manaʻo nei e ʻike. "E hāʻawi kahi mea hoʻolako FOLX i ka ʻike hoʻomanawanui a me ke alakaʻi e pili ana i kahi hopena maikaʻi o nā hormona e hoʻokumu ʻia i kēlā ʻike," wahi a Steinle. E hōʻoia ka mea hoʻolako i ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana o ka mea maʻi "i ka pilikia e pili ana i kēlā ʻano o ka mālama ʻana, a kōkua i ka mea maʻi e hoʻoholo inā ʻoluʻolu lākou i kēlā mau pilikia," wahi āna. Aia lākou ma ka ʻaoʻao like, a laila e kuhikuhi ka mea hāʻawi FOLX i nā hormona. Me FOLX, ʻo ia nō kēlā pololei i mua.

"ʻAʻole ʻike ʻo FOLX i ka HRT ma ke ʻano he mea e hoʻoponopono ai i nā maʻi a hoʻōla paha i kahi kūlana maʻi," wahi a Steinle. "Manaʻo ʻo FOLX ma ke ʻano he mea e hāʻawi i ka poʻe i ke kōkua iā lākou iho, ka hauʻoli, a me ke ʻano o ka ʻike ʻana i ka honua āu e makemake ai e noho."

He aha ka mea ʻē aʻe e hana ai i FOLX Unique?

ʻAʻole like me nā paepae telemedicine ʻē aʻe, ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia ʻoe me kahi mea hoʻolako, ʻo kēlā kanaka kāu mea hāʻawi! ʻO ka manaʻo, ʻaʻole ʻoe e lilo i ka hoʻomaka o kēlā me kēia manawa e wehewehe ana i kāu mea āpau i kahi mea hou. "Hiki i nā maʻi ke hana i kahi pilina lōʻihi a kūlike me kā lākou kauka," wahi a Breitenstein.

Eia kekahi, ʻo FOLX (!) ʻAʻole (!) koi (!) ʻinikua. Akā, hāʻawi lākou i ka mālama ma kahi hoʻolālā e pili ana i ke kau inoa, e hoʻomaka ana ma $ 59 i kēlā me kēia mahina. "Me kēlā hoʻolālā, loaʻa ʻoe i ka palena palena ʻole i kāu kauka olakino i kēlā me kēia ʻano āu e makemake ai," wehewehe lākou. Loaʻa iā ʻoe nā labs a me nā kuhikuhi e pono ai i hoʻouna ʻia i kahi kauka lāʻau āu e koho ai. No kahi uku hou aʻe, i hoʻololi ʻia e pili ana i ka lāʻau a me ka lāʻau, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā meds a me nā labs i kou home.

"Loaʻa iā FOLX kahi ʻōnaehana kuhikuhi o nā lawelawe mālama ola i kahi e hoʻopili ai i nā mea hoʻolako i hāʻawi i kahi ʻoki poʻokela kiʻekiʻe [kahi hana ʻoki e wehe i nā kiko o ka umauma], nā hoʻololi leo, nā lawelawe hemo lauoho, a me nā mea like me ia," wahi a Steinle. No laila inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i nā lawelawe olakino ʻē aʻe a makemake ʻoe e hōʻoia e koho ana ʻoe i kahi mea hoʻolako LGBTQ-inclusive, hiki iā FOLX ke kōkua. Ua hala nā lā o ka haʻalele ʻana iā Google a ke ʻaʻa i kou mau manamana lima! (Pili: ʻO wau ʻeleʻele, Queer, a me Polyamorous: No ke aha e pili ai i kaʻu mau kauka?)

Pehea ʻoe e kau inoa ai no FOLX?

E hoʻomaka ma ke poʻo ʻana i kā lākou pūnaewele. Ma laila, hiki iā ʻoe ke aʻo hou e pili ana i nā lawelawe kikoʻī i hāʻawi ʻia. A inā hoʻoholo ʻoe e neʻe i mua, ma laila ʻoe e hoʻouna ai i kahi palapala lawe maʻi.

"ʻO nā nīnau āu e nīnau ʻia ai ma ka palapala hoʻopihapiha he mau nīnau wale nō ia e pono ai mākou e ʻike i nā pane e hāʻawi ai i ka mālama kūpono," i wehewehe ai ʻo Steinle. "Ke haʻi mua nei mākou i kekahi nīnau a mākou e nīnau ai e pili ana i kou kino, nā ʻano moe kolohe, a me ka ʻike me ka ʻike e pili ana i ke kumu e noi ai mākou i kēlā ʻike." I ka hihia o kahi mea maʻi e ʻimi nei i ka HRT, no ka laʻana, e nīnau paha ʻo FOLX inā he ovaries kāu, akā ʻaʻole ia no ka mea hoihoi wale ka mea hāʻawi, no ka mea pono ka ʻike e ʻike i ka ʻike e loaʻa i kahi kiʻi piha o nā hormones i ke kino. ke hana nei, wehewehe ʻo ia. Pēlā nō, inā makemake ʻoe i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka STI, hiki ke nīnau ʻia iā ʻoe inā ʻike ʻia ka wahine anal a ʻaʻole paha i kou ola moekolohe i hiki i ka mea hāʻawi ke hoʻoholo inā he kūpono ka panel STI anal ma ka home. Ke waiho nei i kāu palapala lawe, loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi manawa kūpono e hālāwai ai me nā kauka lapaʻau maikaʻi. Inā kū kēlā "hālāwai" ma o ke wikiō a i ʻole ke kikokikona e iho i lalo i kahi hui o ka makemake pilikino a me nā koina mokuʻāina.

Mai laila mai, e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka ʻike pili a pili pono āu e pono ai - maʻalahi ia maʻalahi. ʻO ka mea kaumaha ʻo ia ka maʻalahi ma mua o kēia.
