The Centers for Disease Control has given $540,000 to a trans outreach program to help combat HIV transmission within the community.
Transgender Equity Consulting is a firm run by Cecilia Gentili, who is an Argentinian trans woman and former sex worker who admits to living in the US 'undocumented' for ten years.
Her firm was first awarded the grant by the federal government as part of a national drive to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in 2021.
So far, it has received $360,000 of the total funding, which will continue until 2026.
Gentili fled her homeland seeking a safer existence as a trans woman in the US. She set up Transgender Equity Consulting in 2019 to offer consultancy on 'LGBTQ diversity and inclusion (DEI) and services towards a more just world.'
Today Trans Equity Consulting runs outreach events for the queer community and sex workers, including self-defense classes, BBQs and poetry slams.
Trans Equity Consulting states it is comprised of six black and Latinx transgender and non-binary individuals.
It aims to 'end stigma, uplift community and provide access to resources in real time to combat social determinants of health with an emphasis on healthcare access for black and Latinx transgender and queer communities'.
The grant will be used to distribute 'Let's Stop HIV Together' campaign materials containing information on 'prevention, testing and linkage to care resources while in a space of connection.'
The taxpayer money was awarded in the wake of COVID-19, which saw disparate outcomes for the communities the consultancy aims to assist, according to the firm.
The firm also aims to ensure its users have housing, clean water and employment and access to a community.
It is headed up by Gentili, who is open about her past in sex work and struggles with addiction and brushes with the law.

Every time I read stories of excessive and stupid government waste I think about the taxes I pay. It is obnoxious, careless and evil how our government squanders what we work so hard to earn.
Persons behind such foolishness need to be fired and prosecuted.
P
It figures.
If this were a movie I would walk out on it because it is too farcical to be believable.
For sure......un-frickin-believable.
The gazillions of $$$ the fedgov is giving to evil people, evil causes and evil organizations is enough to make me vomit. That’s why I try not to know everything.
Not only has to stop, but the people making these decisions need to be fired with prejudice as soon as Trump is back.
