Management and Prevention of HIV Among Transgender Adults.

Abstract

Transgender individuals face discrimination, violence, social exclusion, and other social, political, and economic factors that result in increased vulnerability to HIV. Rates of viral suppression and uptake of preexposure prophylaxis are lower among transgender individuals than the general population. HIV clinics can help improve these rates by promoting inclusivity and tailoring care to the specific needs of transgender patients.
