The “Bare it All” campaign encourages lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) New Yorkers to have open and honest conversations with their doctors about their sex lives and other issues that impact their health. 

If you are not comfortable with your doctor, the Department of Health can help. 

You can use the online NYC Health Map to find an LGBTQ knowledgeable health provider near you. You can also speak with the Department of Health directly.
