LGBTQ Health
La Clínica operates two sites and safe spaces called ‘Empodérate Centers’. Our program is the only comprehensive, bilingual HIV prevention program that targets Latino men who have sex with men and transgender Latinas in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. Historically, LGBTQ individuals have been among the most impacted by HIV within the local Latino community. La Clínica addresses this issue by tackling the underlying causes of the epidemic, including stigma, isolation, depression, and the lack of safe and substance/alcohol-free spaces for immigrants that frequently face rejection from families and communities due to homophobia, transphobia, and socioeconomic and immigration status.
Services:
Navigation services: Primary care services, HIV Care, legal services, mental health, education, medical insurance, and employment readiness, among other support services.
Individual Counseling: Sexual Health, HIV/STI Prevention, substance use, healthy sexual relationships, among others.
