Sophia Forum newsletter: February 2016 | LGBT History Month February is LGBT history month, and so an important time to reflect on how HIV impacts on lesbian, bisexual and trans women. In this edition of the Sophia Forum newsletter, we share articles exploring how HIV affects LBT women, and how their needs, priorities and experiences are invisibilised and even ignored.
