T.W.E.E.T. (Transgender Women Engagement and Entry to Care)

T.W.E.E.T. is an evidence-informed intervention designed to improve health outcomes among transgender women with HIV. Developed with input from both HIV experts and community members, the program centers on weekly, peer-led health education and discussion groups called Transgender Leader (TL) Teach Backs.

Participants explore five key topics related to health and wellness. After completing five sessions, they are invited to become Peer Leaders—supporting sessions, modeling healthy behaviors, and connecting with others in the community.

T.W.E.E.T. also links participants to HIV care and supportive services, while building partnerships with organizations serving transgender women.

This guide was developed as part of HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) E2i initiative and includes practical tools, tips, and resources to help organizations replicate the intervention.
