An allyship that ships
Pride is a celebration and a reminder. LGBTQIA+ people still face documented gaps in access to affirming, knowledgeable care. The clinical literature records the cost of those gaps in delayed care, avoided appointments, and worse outcomes.
We are a medical AI company. The most useful thing we can offer is knowledge, so this Pride Month we did the work that matches our mission. We expanded what Asha knows about LGBTQIA+ health, and we are putting it in reach of anyone who needs it. Your first month of Asha Pro is free, no card needed.
What we added today
We shipped a new LGBTQIA+ health knowledge collection into Asha’s memory: 44,029 passages of peer-reviewed medical research published in 2020 or later. Where an article is in the open-access subset, we ingested the full text. Where it is not, we ingested the structured abstract. Every passage carries its source: title, journal, year, and PubMed identifier.
The collection is anchored on the guidelines clinicians actually use:
- WPATH Standards of Care, Version 8 (2022), gender-affirming care across the lifespan
- Endocrine Society guideline on gender-affirming hormone therapy
- CDC guidance on PrEP and STI prevention (MMWR)
- USPSTF preventive screening recommendations
- Position statements from the AAP, APA, ACOG, and WHO
Meet Asha
Asha is our medical AI at askasha.org. Your first month of Asha Pro is free, no card needed: evidence-grounded answers with citations and voice, in 11 languages. Ask in plain language and get an answer that shows you where it came from. A few things people are asking this month:
- What does WPATH SOC-8 say about informed-consent models for hormone therapy?
- How does PrEP work, and who is a good candidate?
- Which preventive screenings are recommended for a 30-year-old transgender man?
- I want to come out to my doctor. How do I start that conversation?
Built to be trusted with this
Asha is fiduciary by design. Every answer is grounded in verified evidence before it reaches you. When the evidence is thin or absent, Asha says so plainly instead of guessing. That matters most for questions where the wrong answer carries a real cost.
Asha informs your decisions; she does not replace your clinician. For questions about your own care, bring what you learn to a professional you trust.
For the whole month, and after it
This knowledge is part of Asha now, and it stays. We will keep adding to it as the guidelines evolve.
Happy Pride from all of us at DNAi Systems.
