YOUTH VOICES COUNT JOINS THE YOUNG PEOPLE CONFERENCE

Youth Voices Count’s HIV and AIDS Officer Bloom Siriwattakanon attended the Young People Conference organized by Institute of HIV Research and Innovation, PEPFAR, USAID and YouthLEAD. With over 100 attendees, this was a regional conference that aimed to advocate for the HIV related needs of young priority people in the Asia and the Pacific region, including Canada.

Bloom spoke on “Transforming access to health care for young priority populations and everyone – a new era in point of care testing for HIV, viral hepatitis and STIs” where they addressed the need of inclusion of nonbinary and trans masculine to be part of HIV cascade of care discourses.
