Often they are unsure whether their disclosure would bring them substandard care or discrimination. This is a problem because disclosure of sexual orientation can be crucial for the diagnosis of some illnesses, like STDs (sexually-transmitted diseases) and mental health challenges associated with sexual identity and discrimination, and gay people<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u2019<\/span>s reluctance to disclose in front of healthcare professionals might affect the accurate medical diagnosis and treatment. Sadly, AIDS Concern hears that some gay people choose not to seek medical help in fear of stigmatization and let their health conditions deteriorate.<\/p>\n<p>According to AIDS Concern<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u2019<\/span>s frontline experience and research, 9% of gay men would not seek medical services related to sexual health for fear of disclosing their sexual orientation. 20% of them do not seek medical assistance for fear of disclosing their sexuality.\u00a055% of the gay men would hide their sexual orientation and avoid talking about their homosexual practices when they seek the above medical services. We believe that stigma associated with the gay identity is a major barrier to effective HIV prevention and treatment as an unfriendly social environment deters people from seeking medical assistance.<\/p>\n<p>To improve the physical health of sexual minorities, AIDS Concern is now launching a <span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u2018<\/span>Dr. Rainbow Scheme<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u2019<\/span>. We encourage doctors to join our scheme to learn more about gay people<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u2019<\/span>s culture and healthcare concerns. We are educating doctors about skills for gay friendly consultation by inviting them to attend our <span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u2018<\/span>Gay-friendly Healthcare Training Workshop<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u2019<\/span> or <span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u2018<\/span>Gay-friendly Healthcare Webinar<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u2019<\/span> to have more effective and sensitive communication with their gay patients.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, to reduce gay people<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u2019<\/span>s fear of stigmatization and improve their access to healthcare, AIDS Concern will also promote the scheme in the community through different channels on the internet and large gay events. The promotional materials will not display the name or service information of the doctors who have participated in the scheme but the doctors<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u2019<\/span> names and specialty will be displayed in the AIDS Concern website.

Are there schemes or policies in foreign countries that are similar to the Dr. Rainbow Scheme?&#8221;]There are various places and medical schools overseas which promote LGBT-friendly medical policies or guidelines, and many of which are established by NGOs. Please see below for examples:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Department of Health, Taipei City Government \u2013 LGBT-friendly Medical Handbook (LGBT) https:\/\/health.gov.taipei\/Portals\/0\/%E6%96%87%E5%AE%A3%E5%87%BA%E7%89%88%E5%93%81\/%E5%90%8C%E5%BF%97%E5%8F%8B%E5%96%84%E9%86%AB%E7%99%82%E6%89%8B%E5%86%8A%E7%AC%AC%E4%BA%8C%E7%89%88.pdf<\/li>\n<li>Human Rights Campaign \u2013 Healthcare Equality Index https:\/\/www.hrc.org\/hei<\/li>\n<li>American Medical Association \u2013 Creating an LGBTQ-friendly Practice<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>https:\/\/www.ama-assn.org\/delivering-care\/creating-lgbtq-friendly-practice<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Gayand\u00a0Lesbian\u00a0Health Victoria \u2013 LGBTI Inclusive Practice https:\/\/www.glhv.org.au\/lgbti-inclusive-practice<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space][vc_toggle title=&#8221;3. How does the Dr. Rainbow Scheme work?&#8221;]There are 2 aspects to the Scheme \u2013 the medical field and the gay community. We regularly organize LGBT-friendly healthcare training workshops, to share with medical professionals and students knowledge on healthcare concerns of the gay community, gender diversity and sexual orientation. This would improve their understanding and sensitivity towards sexual minorities, and make the medical field more LGBT-friendly. In terms of the community aspect, we will promote the Scheme within the gay community, to let more people know that more medical professionals have received training on \u201cLGBT-friendliness\u201d. This would eliminate their fear towards disclosing their sexual orientation, as well as obstacles in seeking medical consultation. This would also increase their confidence in medical services.[\/vc_toggle][vc_empty_space][vc_toggle title=&#8221;4. Doctors who participated in the Scheme would like to share their experience&#8221;]\u201cA male patient once came to my clinic for medical consultation with a sore throat, who had taken antibiotics under another doctor&#8217;s prescription but was getting no better. After having a detailed inquiry with him, I found that he had had oral sex with men before. Having a sore throat was actually the symptom of being infected with gonorrhea, but not catching a cold or a flu. Therefore, even if the symptoms may be ordinary, a careful and attentive inquiry is still required to help the patient solve his\/her physical distress.\u201d \u2014Dr. Fong Yeung (Family Medicine Specialist)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as the information related to the patient\u2019s sexuality is clinically relevant, I would ask the patient about their sexual orientation carefully. It has basically become part of my consultation practice. For example, if a patient has shown some skin rashes, or any signs of sexually-transmitted infections on his body, I would ask the patient about his\/her sexual orientation and sexual practices. If he is a 10 (versatile), and has engaged in anal sex with another man before, I would take a swab from both his urethra and anus for a comprehensive physical examination.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In fact, as long as the patients understand the relevance between my inquiry into his sexuality and his health condition, they don\u2019t really mind disclosing their sexual orientation. If a doctor can ask the patient about his\/her sexual orientation and related issues sincerely, a more accurate diagnosis can be made.\u201d \u2014Dr. Wong Chun Fung (General Practitioner)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is a saying that goes \u201cdoctoring is parenting\u201d.
