Stigma and misconceptions surrounding the MSM and TG community affect the quality of care received at medical institutions; there is lack of confidentiality, mistreatment by medical staff and sometimes even a denial of services. There is also a need for support groups and counselling support to help live with the stigma and prejudice they face.
