LoveYourself Inc., a non-profit dedicated to raising sexual health awareness, envisioned a future where queer and PLHIV (People Living with HIV) Filipinos could access affirming, inclusive, safe, and judgment-free healthcare. This vision led to the creation of Luxecare, the organization’s first private clinic arm. Luxecare celebrated its 5th anniversary —a milestone in the ongoing fight for queer healthcare equity in the Philippines.
Since its inception, Luxecare has catered to over 13,000 clients, providing a safe haven for the PLHIV and LGBTQIA+ community.
On top of their HIV/STD testing services that they have offered from the very start, they now also provide Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT) consultations, ensuring that every trans-Filipino has access to expert medical guidance in their transition journey with their holistic healthcare approach. In addition to GAHT, they offer e-consultation, STI testing and treatment, prophylaxis, and pre-exposure prophylaxis, all done in an inclusive, stigma-free environment, upholding LoveYourself Inc.’s guiding principles, the 3 Is: iniingatan, inaalagaan, and inaasikaso.
Acknowledging the successful 5 years, Luxecare is determined to embrace the future with confidence. Raymond Mejorada, Luxecare’s Managing Director shares, “Our vision remains clear–to continue setting new standards in excellence and to empower every individual who walks through our doors.”
As a gesture of gratitude to the trans community and its unwavering supporters, Luxecare unveiled significant announcements, including plans for expansion and exclusive anniversary promos designed to make queer healthcare even more accessible.
To reach more LGBTQIA+ Filipinos, Pagtakhan also teased the opening of Luxecare’s sixth branch located in PITX in the next few months. This enables them to service to more members of the community, ensuring they get trans-supportive and responsive treatments from a healthcare expert.
Luxecare will also soon launch the X Virtual Clinic, an online hub specializing in providing STI testing. This innovation is undergoing its final touches, but will soon be available for their patrons.
