Myth or Fact? “Straight” people don’t have to worry about HIV infection.

This is a myth. Misinformation about LGBTQ+ health issues contributes to biases against the community, creates confusion over important health questions, and can even prevent some from seeking health care when needed. The more we know about our health, the more empowered we can become to make informed health decisions that affect us daily.
