Transgender Women and HIV Prevention and Care
‘Transgender women’ is an umbrella term to refer to persons who identify as women or trans women, or who have a feminine gender identity that differs from the male sex they were assigned at birth. Transgender women may identify with certain terms and not others and may express gender in a variety of ways.
In the United States, more than 161,200 individuals – 13% of the 1.1 million people living with HIV (PLWH) – are unaware of their HIV infection.¹ Estimates say these individuals account for 30% of all new annual infections.2

How can Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) help in HIV prevention?
Prepared by Pamela DeCarlo and Kimberly Koester, CAPS/PRC/CHPRC Community Engagement (CE) Core | May 2017
This PRC project is focused on evaluating the adaptation of the STYLE (“Strength Through Youth Livin’ Empowered”) intervention, developed 10+ years ago in North Carolina, to a community-based clinic in Oakland, CA. APEB is calling their STYLE adaptation “M+.” They will develop social and standard marketing materials for the program. Clients who enroll in M+ will attend an orientation and educational session focused on health literacy and self advocacy skills.
While you are setting up your equipment, getting the consent form, etc. take note of the surroundings for your field notes.
1. I’d like you to think back to the last time you got an HIV test. Take a minute to remember everything you can about it and then tell me the whole story.
