How Folx Health compares
Folx Health and Plume are the two largest dedicated LGBTQ+ telehealth platforms offering gender-affirming HRT. Both use informed consent models and ship medications discreetly. Folx Health has a broader clinical scope — PrEP, HIV care, primary care, mental health — making it a more complete healthcare home for LGBTQ+ patients. Plume focuses more narrowly on gender-affirming HRT and name/gender marker change documentation. For patients whose primary need is HRT, either platform serves that need well; for patients wanting a single affirming platform for multiple health needs, Folx's breadth is advantageous.
About
Folx Health is a telehealth platform built for LGBTQ+ patients, offering gender-affirming hormone therapy (HRT for transgender and non-binary individuals), PrEP and HIV care, STI testing and treatment, primary care, and mental health services. Founded in 2020, Folx was purpose-built to serve a community that faces significant barriers to competent, affirming healthcare in conventional settings — clinical staff are trained in LGBTQ+ care and the platform uses affirming language and intake forms throughout. For transgender and non-binary patients, Folx prescribes HRT using an informed consent model in states where this is legally permitted, meaning patients do not need a therapist letter or psychiatric clearance to access hormone therapy. Medications are shipped discreetly to patients' homes. Folx accepts major insurance and also offers cash-pay options, making it accessible for patients who are not out to their insurance provider or family. The clinical scope is broad: in addition to HRT, Folx providers can manage PrEP, general primary care, mental health, and sexual health. For LGBTQ+ patients who have had negative experiences with providers unfamiliar with their needs, Folx offers a fully affirming clinical environment as its core differentiator.

Who this is best for
Transgender, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ individuals seeking gender-affirming hormone therapy, PrEP, HIV care, STI services, or primary care from providers trained and experienced in LGBTQ+ health. Particularly valuable for patients who have experienced discrimination or inadequate care in conventional healthcare settings, or who prefer discreet access to HRT.
What to expect
Complete Folx's affirming intake process, which includes gender identity and pronoun preferences. A Folx clinician reviews your intake and schedules a video consultation. For HRT, the visit includes discussing your goals, reviewing lab work (which Folx can order), and prescribing medications if appropriate under informed consent. Medications are shipped directly to you. Ongoing care includes prescription refills, lab monitoring, and messaging with your care team.
