The Los Angeles LGBT Center supports CA State Sen.

The Los Angeles LGBT Center supports CA State Sen. @Scott_Wiener's SB 57 measure, which would allow for the creation and implementation of overdose prevention centers in L.A., San Francisco, and Oakland.
.
Last week, Gov. @gavinnewsom expressed strong support for Sen. Wiener’s bill. The Center has hosted safe and compassionate overdose prevention programs for several years, including a clean needle exchange program. #Harmreduction programs save lives and help people find a path to treatment and healthy living.

UPDATE: Effective immediately, the Los Angeles LGB

UPDATE: Effective immediately, the Los Angeles LGBT Center will comply with L.A. County guidance to prioritize administering first doses of the JYNNEOS human monkeypox (hMPXV) vaccine and only offer second doses to moderately or severely immunocompromised individuals.
.
This will include those with advanced or poorly controlled HIV infection. This strategy will remain in effect until more doses become available for eligible community members.
.
Neither one nor two doses of vaccine are 100% effective at preventing hMPXV infection. As such, additional harm reduction strategies like minimizing skin-to-skin contact with others, using condoms, limiting sexual partners, and wearing clothing while in settings like dancefloors where prolonged contact may occur are encouraged regardless of vaccine status.
.
L.A. County guidance is aligned with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and many other large city jurisdictions including New York City and Washington D.C.
.
The Los Angeles LGBT Center appreciates your understanding and support of this strategy as it will allow more people who are at risk for hMPXV to be better protected. Please know that the Center will continue our efforts to demand that The White House make more doses of JYNNEOS as well as treatment available to our community.
.
Please visit the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention’s Monkeypox Prevention site for more information or lalgbtcenter.org/monkeypox

Our confidence in the #Biden Administration’s ability to halt the spread of #hMPXV is strengthened with the appointment of a @WhiteHouse human monkeypox team, which includes @drdemetre as the deputy coordinator. #DrDaskalakis, a well-known gay activist, has an extensive history in #HIV/#AIDS work, and with his leadership, the team will be able to develop a more coordinated and robust response that should also address the stigma associated with hMPXV and the #LGBTQ community.
