Transgender HIV Prevention

Transgender HIV Prevention

HIV prevention for transgender individuals must be a public health priority––local data

suggest disproportionately high rates of HIV with estimated infection rates among specific

transgender populations ranging from 14 percent to 69 percent. HIV prevention programs are often a gateway for transgender persons into social service or health care systems. It is critical to incorporate prevention programs into larger health and wellness initiatives and to address issues of stigma and discrimination.
