"This is what HIV+ looks like now" #TakePrideInYourHealth #AlliesAgainstStigma #medsEXPERT

What can we say? We love being BY and FOR our community!

Pharmacists can be a great asset in helping people access care. That's why just over 5 years ago, we decided to open @medsEXPERT as the first of its kind in health in Canada. We're happy to see that message grow within the short time since we opened medsEXPERT Pharmacy just over 3 years ago on Church Street and #medsEXPERT Clinic one year later. This #IDAHOT we're celebrating 2 decades of LGBTQ+ health improving access to PrEP & HIV meds. #LGBTHEALTH #LGBTQhealth #TakePrideInYourHealth #internationaldayagainsthomophobiaandtransphobia

Vaccine Pop-Up Clinics are appearing all over the city in the coming weeks.

"Lebanon and its government has had a long history of denouncing and criminalizing the LGBTQ+ community... punishable by up to a year in prison. To live in this country now, and Beirut in particular, as a queer person, is to literally be scared for, and fighting for, your life." Helem is a LGBTQ+ organization in .

Chosen families are a necessity in a queer person’s life, Priyanka continued... You get to set up a world full of acceptance, love and appreciation for what you do, what you say, who you are... They can really help you find yourself and put you on a better journey. You’re stepping into a family that’s already educated. We stan Priyanka!

The COVID-19 pandemic is still very much in play and, once Toronto gets the greenlight to move into Stage 3 (as we're expected to tomorrow), health and safety measures like physical distancing, frequent handwashing and the use of masks will be more important than ever to prevent a second wave.

COVID-19 has affected all groups under the LGBTQIAP+ rainbow as well as cis-gender heterosexuals. But it has not affected all demographic groups the same... Doctors and other healthcare professionals still have a great deal of work to do to better care for these communities and populations.

Winner of the LGBTQ+ Business of the Year is giving 100% of mask proceeds to BlackCAP (Black Coaliton for AIDS Prevention)! Variety of masks @medsEXPERT with proceeds going to @blackcapto ! Only at Canada's award-winning MedsExpert LGBTQ Clinic + Pharmacy

#BlackOutTuesday is for all of us to contribute to #antiracism at this critical time. We support campaigning, fundraising, protesting, educating, and activating to end violence and systemic discrimination against black and brown bodies. No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us.

Rest In Power. "Larry Kramer, the noted writer whose raucous, antagonistic campaign for an all-out response to the AIDS crisis helped shift national health policy in the 1980s and ’90s, died on Wednesday morning in Manhattan. He was 84."

Love wins over hate. "Here's the sad reality, wrote Senator Kamala Harris via Twitter. What happened to George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery & Christian Cooper has gone on for generations to Black Americans. Cell phones just made it more visible. #AlliesAgainstStigma #medsEXPERT

We are incredibly proud of the work L'Oreal Canada is doing to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ health issues during these trying times.

"Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as treatments for covid-19 are not yet backed by reliable scientific evidence. In a pandemic, it’s important for everyone to follow the lead of scientists. Rumors on the Internet are the least reliable source of information. And politicians are not qualified to provide scientific advice, despite even the best intentions. In particular, Trump’s incorrect comments on the drugs and his role in advocating for their use, based on minimal and flimsy evidence, sets a bad example." Questions about meds? Get EXPERT advice.

Too often, queer people face homophobia, discrimination, and stigma in healthcare. That's why a medical clinic BY and FOR the LGBTQ+ community exists and we continue to raise awareness of HIV, serophobia, and HIV-related stigma. At MedsExpert LGBTQ Clinic + Pharmacy, we say #EndTheBloodBan now as all donations are screened for HIV anyway and it's desperately needed during this pandemic! #ScienceOverStigma #AlliesAgainstStigma #medsEXPERT

Today is the International Transgender Day of Visibility when we celebrate the courage of our transgender family members here at #medsEXPERT.

Let's stop viral hysteria, panic buying, and fear which are spreading faster than the #coronavirus. For perspective, we lost over 35M people to HIV/AIDS while 27,000 (Johns Hopkins University estimate as of 3:00pm PT, Mar 27, 2020) have died so far due to #COVID19 . Join us in sharing science over stigma. Ask real questions. Get expert care. #medsEXPERT #AlliesAgainstStigma

We are receiving a lot of questions about antiretroviral medications lopinavir and ritonavir (the 2 anti-HIV meds in Kaletra) for treatment of COVID-19. Unfortunately, there is not good evidence to say it is effective against the #coronavirus and we do not recommend taking Kaletra unless it is prescribed for someone's HIV treatment. Ask real questions. Get expert advice. #medsEXPERT #COVID_19
