HRSA Recognizes TransAccess
TransAccess is now a Federally recognized BEST PRACTICE!
This team has worked so hard to recently to increase the care they give to our Trans Clients living with HIV. Not only has it been thriving and the caseloads reaching closer and closer towards capacity, but the team has also managed to expand the acuity level that can access their services.
About TransAccess
The TransAccess clinic opened in 2013 to address high HIV prevalence among transgender women of color in San Francisco, California. Located in the Tenderloin district, the clinic provides gender-affirming and comprehensive HIV care to transgender women of color who are not engaged, or not consistently engaged, in care. TransAccess provides this care onsite at San Francisco Community Health Center. During its participation in the Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) Transgender Women of Color Initiative, TransAccess engaged over 80 transgender women of color in care, showing improvement in antiretroviral therapy (ART) prescription and viral suppression rates among these clients through its services and harm reduction approach.

About the The Best Practices Compilation
The Best Practices Compilation is designed to serve as a central location for RWHAP-funded programs to share innovative strategies that support access to HIV care, keep people engaged in care, and improve their health, while reducing new HIV infections.
The compilation was developed with extensive input and collaboration from RWHAP recipients and subrecipients, federal and non-federal staff, and HRSA HAB project officers. By increasing access to new and innovative strategies to improve outcomes for all Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program clients, the compilation supports our vision to provide optimal HIV care and treatment for all to end the HIV epidemic in the U.S.
