About Trans Harm Reduction

Trans Harm Reduction is a volunteer-run, grassroots organisation for trans people in Ireland and Scotland who are self-medicating. It organises laboratory testing of commonly used HRT sources, facilitates a peer support volunteer network, and publishes information on injecting safely, blood tests, needle disposal and vial contamination.

It also explains how to access sterile injecting supplies for free and operates a healthcare fund for costs such as GP visits, blood tests and long-term injecting supplies. The fund does not cover costs for private healthcare providers such as GenderGP, and its services are limited to Ireland and Scotland.
