“It is important that everyone understands that It is no longer a community in general.“But we are all exposed from the moment we actively have sexual relations, so we have to understand that we have to take care of ourselves and the best way to take care of ourselves is to know our health status.”
In addition to vaccination, MOVIT will also carry out the first testicular cancer prevention and prostate, open to both the trans community and the general public.
The deputy director of MOVIT highlighted the importance of these preventive actionsespecially for trans women, due to hormonal treatments and particular health conditions that increase certain risks.
